    BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 9, ARMENIANS TODAY - NOYAN TAPAN. Peter Semneby,
    the EU special envoy to the South Caucasus, and Hilda Tchoboian,
    the Chairperson of the European Armenian Federation, held a meeting
    on 24 September in the framework of the regular consultations that
    take place between the Euro-Armenian NGO and EU institutions.

    The main focus of their talks was the recent geopolitical unrest in the
    South Caucasus, the renewed interest in improvement of Turkey-Armenia
    relations, and the challenges faced by Georgia's ethnic Armenian
    population.

    The interlocutors reiterated their common interest in eventually
    seeing the normalization of regional cooperation in South Caucasus,
    particularly in the wake of the Georgian crisis. The President of
    the European Armenian Federation, however, informed Mr. Semneby of
    her organization's scepticism about Turkey's proposed "Caucasian
    Platform for Stability and Cooperation," noting that, until now,
    Turkey has primarily been a destabilizing factor in the region, as
    evidenced by its blockade of Armenia and its pro-Azerbaijani bias in
    the Karabagh conflict.
