its expression in an increasingly large number of violations by
the Azerbaijani military along the line of contact. As Noyan Tapan

Department, Armenia's Foreign Minister also discussed UN reforms, and
welcomed the formation of the new Human Rights Council, expressing

Minister Oskanian also stressed Armenia's commitment to rural
development. He stressed that the Millennium Challenge Compact,
recently signed with the US Government, will create a momentum
and that the Armenian government is committed to building on this
momentum with a comprehensive plan for rural development that is based
on a public-private partnership which includes Armenia's Diaspora,
Armenia's business community, the Armenian government and international
organizations.
