    Armenia, Arab League sign memo on mutual understanding

    Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan
    19 Jan 05


    [Presenter] A new page of Armenian-Arab cooperation opened by signing
    a memorandum on mutual understanding in Cairo today. Arab League
    Secretary-General Amr Musa and Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
    Oskanyan signed the memorandum on mutual understanding envisaging
    cooperation between the two sides in the political, cultural,
    scientific and other spheres.

    [Vardan Oskanyan, on the telephone from Cairo] First of all, I want to
    say that the memorandum signed today between the Republic of Armenia
    and the Arab League countries is undoubtedly a historic event. I
    consider that it opens the new page for the further development and
    intensification of the Armenian-Arab relations. The signing of this
    document is a positive result of the ancient historical and cultural
    relations between the Armenian and Arab peoples as well as Armenia's
    foreign policy with regard to the Arab countries. This memorandum on
    mutual understanding gives us an opportunity to carry out
    consultations with the Arab League as an institution and to establish
    cooperation with it in all spheres as well as with various Arab
    countries via the Arab League.

    Before and after the singing of the memorandum today we had the talks
    with the secretary-general. We discussed various issues during the
    talks. What is going on here, in the Arab region, today has an impact
    on our region too. Today we also discussed the recent events in Iraq,
    the election of new authorities in Palestine and other developments.

    During the discussions, I informed about the situation in our Caucasus
    region and also Armenia's relations with its neighbours and the recent
    developments around the Karabakh conflict.
