Yerevan, 16 June: Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan is in
Brussels. He has taken two important documents there. He submitted
the Individual Partnership Action Plan between Armenia and NATO to
the Parliamentary Assembly of the North Atlantic alliance.
On the same day, he submitted Armenia's preliminary proposals within
the framework of the Expanded Europe: New Neighbourhood programme to
officials of the European Union [EU].
[Oskanyan] We have already submitted the Individual Partnership Action
Plan between Armenia and NATO to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. It
shows the high level of relations between Armenia and NATO and gives a
new impetus to our relations. The plan covers mainly three directions:
first, political consultations, second, reforms in Armenia's defence
sphere, and third, participation in peacekeeping operations under
the aegis of NATO.
Today I also submitted to the EU a package of Armenia's preliminary
proposals related to Armenia's action plan under the Expanded Europe:
New Neighbourhood programme. The final package will be drawn up on
its basis.
I met NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and we discussed
relations between Armenia and NATO, as well as issues of settling
the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict and relations with Turkey. I also
met EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and EU External Relations
Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
