    Minister Oskanian Receives Members of Eurasia Foundation Board of Trustees

    On 11 October, Minister Oskanian received Eurasia Foundation's President
    Charles Maynes and members of the Board of Trustees.

    The Eurasia Foundation board members noted that a 10-year grants programme
    in Armenia covers almost all aspects of civil society development. The
    Foundation supported numerous pioneering initiatives including development
    of university curriculum for business administration, the first large scale
    municipal development program, the first small enterprise lending program,
    the first public dialogue campaign and pioneering support for independent
    print media.

    Minister Oskanian welcomed the Foundation's mission in Armenia and
    acknowledged the importance of its operations in the context of Armenia's
    transition to market economy and democratic society.

    Upon request of Eurasia Foundation Board members, Minister Oskanian briefed
    them on the current situation in the region focusing on the status of the
    Nagorno Karabagh conflict settlement and regulation of Armenia - Turkey
    relations.

    Eurasia Foundation (with headquarters in Washington) operates in Armenia,
    Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Moldova, Russia and
    Tajikistan. The Foundation started its program in Armenia in 1995. The key
    programs implemented by the Foundation include Izmirlyan - Eurasia Small
    Business Loan Program, Public Dialogue, Media Strengthening Program, South
    Caucasus Cooperation Program and Caucasus Research Resource Centers.
