    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Talks with European Parliament Vice-President Edward
    MacMillan-Scott in Yerevan were rather successful, Armenian FM Vartan
    Oskanian stated at a news conference in Yerevan. "Vice-President's
    statement that Armenia can become EU member in coming 10 years was
    good news to me," Oskanian said.

    The Armenian FM also noted that talks between Armenia and the EU over
    approval of the Action Plan are not over yet. "There are no unsolved
    matters within the program and there is no need for another round
    of talks over the Action Plan. Delay of the final decision is due to
    our neighbors having some difficulties with the EU," Oskanian said.

    As of Iran's nuclear program, in the Armenian FM's words, "Yerevan
    assesses as positive the fact that Teheran did not turn down the EU
    new proposals." "We welcome EU High Representative for the Common
    Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana's efforts in Teheran and the
    intention of the US to hold direct dialogue with Iran. We also hope
    that it will be possible to solve Iran's nuclear issue by means of
    talks, without application of sanctions and military force," Oskanian
    underscored. The Armenian FM refused to comment on anti-government
    statements of Azerbaijani residents of northern provinces of Iran.
