/PanARMENIAN.Net/ When the European community speaks of regional
cooperation, it means open borders between countries of the region,
Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated at a news conference in Yerevan. In
his words, there are problems, however these can be solved by
cooperation in economy and security. "Armenia has no problems with
Georgia and Iran. If Turkey opens the border, I do not see problems
either. We are ready to cooperation, however Azerbaijan is not
and does not want normalization of the situation in the region,"
Oskanian remarked.
In his turn Erkki Tuomioja, the Foreign Minister of Finland hopes that
the coming visit of the co-chairs of the OSCE MG over settlement of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict may move the process from the stalemate.
"There is an opportunity for the OSCE MG to open "window of hope,"
Erkki Tuomioja said. As for Nagorno Karabakh being mentioned as
belonging to Azerbaijan in the Action Plan within the ENP, he said
NK is not mentioned in the document. "The parties to conflict should
solve these issues themselves," he underscored.
