The Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Romania Edward Nlabdnian and
Lazar Comanescu held constructive and promising negotiations. Armenia's
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian told a press conference today that
they discussed bilateral relations, the opportunities of intensifying
the bilateral cooperation in different spheres and the political
dialogue.
Reference was made to regional issues, particularly the settlement
of the Nagorno Karabakh issue.
According to Lazar Comanescu, constructive talks were held on issues
of bilateral interest. "The bilateral cooperation between the two
countries should be developed in different spheres. As a member of
the European Union and NATO, Romania can develop its relations with
Armenia within the framework of those structures, as well as within
regional organizations.
There are serious perspectives for economic cooperation," the Foreign
Minister of Romania stated. According to him, opportunities should be
found for cooperation within the framework of the Black Sea Economic
Cooperation Organization, which is currently chaired by Armenia. The
Minister noted that Romania is ready to share its experience with
Armenia in the context of multifaceted developments, particularly
economic reforms. Having met with business circles of Armenia,
Mr. Comanescu came to the conclusion that the =0 AArmenian-Romanian
potential is greater, and it's necessary to find ways of developing
and utilizing it.
The two Ministers discussed issues connected with the settlement of
frozen conflicts. "I congratulate and welcome the positive developments
targeted at the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh issue, i.e. the
Moscow Declaration. The agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan
can lead to the resolution of the Karabakh conflict on the basis of
international law and norms," Comanescu said.
Which principle of international law should be primary in the
Karabakh solution? The Minister said the best and most promising
way is the political dialogue between the parties involved in the
process. According to him, complex issues like the Karabakh conflict
should be solved on the basis of full respect for norms and principles
of international law. Territorial integrity is one of those principles,
but if we look at the Charter of the United Nations and the Helsinki
Final Act, there are other principles, which should be looked at
together."
Edward Nalbandian agreed with his Romanian counterpart and noted that
all the principles are very important for resolution of the issue.
