Minister Oskanian in Brussels for Armenia-EU Cooperation Council and
Karabakh Talks
Minister Oskanian is in Brussels to participate in the 7th session
of the Armenia-EU Partnership and Cooperation Council. Together with
the foreign ministers of Georgia and Azerbaijan, Minister Oskanian
met with the EU leadership -- the Foreign Minister of Finland, which
holds the EU Presidency, the Secretary of State of Germany which will
hold the Presidency in the first half of 2007 as well as EU High
Representative, Javier Solana, and External Relations Commissioner
Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
During the first day's dinner meeting, the participants discussed
developments in the region, including Caucasus states' relations
with neighbors, and also prospects for regional cooperation. Regional
conflicts, especially Nagorno Karabakh, were the focus of much of the
discussion, particularly in light of the upcoming meeting between the
foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The dinner meeting was
followed by a press conference, during which Minister Oskanian thanked
the EU for its persistence in concluding the Action Plan process.
He also noted that "this year's meeting of the Partnership
and Cooperation Council will be particularly memorable because
it represents the beginning of a new chapter - for each of us
individually, for our relations with the EU, and for the EU itself."
The meeting was followed by a Press Conference. On November 14,
during the formal Council meeting the European Neighborhood Policy
Action Plan will be adopted.
