    On October 27 Edward Nalbandian started his visit to the United
    Kingdom.

    Edward Nalbandian and Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom
    David Miliband discussed a broad range of bilateral, regional and
    international issues.

    Turning to bilateral relations, Minister Nalabndian said Armenia
    attaches great importance to the development of comprehensive and
    all-embracing relations with Great Britain - one of the leading
    countries of Europe, and his visit is an evidence of Armenia's
    determination.

    Minister Nalbandian said the Armenian-British political dialogue and
    the trade-economic relations have a great potential for development,
    and the activation of the Armenian-British relations in the
    above-mentioned sphere is one of the primary issues of cooperation
    between the two countries.

    Minister Nalbandian and Foreign Secretary Miliband discussed in
    detail the settlement of regional conflicts. In this context Minister
    Nalbandian presented Armenia's stance on the resolution of the Artsakh
    issue. He expressed hope that the parties can reach the resolution
    of the issue in case there is corresponding political will.

    At the request of David Miliband, Edward Nalbandian presented the
    opportunities of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations,
    underlining that the aim of the process is their full normalization
    and Armenia is resolute to continue the steps in this direction. The
    British Foreign Secretary highly assessed Armenia's steps targeted
    at the improvement of relations with Turkey.

    Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and British Minister
    of State for Europe Caroline Flint discussed the Armenia-European
    Union cooperation, particularly the process of implementation of
    the Action Plan of the European Neighborhood Policy, the bilateral
    cooperation between Armenia and Great Britain within the framework of
    the ENP. Ministers Nalbandian and Flint turned to regional issues,
    especially the perspectives of normalization of relations, as well
    as the activation of bilateral relations.

    Minister Nalbandian visited the House of Lords, where he met with
    members of the Armenian-British Friendship Group. The meeting was
    attended by representatives of the main political parties of the
    United Kingdom - the Laborites, the Conservatives and the Liberals,
    as well as other parties.

    Minister Nalbandian made a speech at the Royal Institute of
    International Affairs (Chatham House), gave an interview to BBC Radio,
    met representatives of the British-Armenian community and had a meeting
    with Brian Fall, UK Special Representative for the South Caucasus.
