Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics has arrived in Armenia for
a working visit at the invitation of his Armenian counterpart Edward
Nalbandian. The Foreign Ministers of the two countries discussed the
further cooperation within the framework of the EU Eastern Partnership
Programme. Latvia will assume EU presidency from January 2015 and
will host the Eastern Partnership Summit in May.
Ministers Nalbandian and Rinkevics discussed a number of bilateral,
regional and international issues. The Armenian Foreign Minister
briefed his Latvian counterpart on the efforts of Armenia and the
Minsk Group co-chairing countries towards the peaceful settlement of
the Karabakh issue.
"The ongoing belligerent statements by the Azerbaijani authorities
after the meeting of the OSCE Foreign Ministers in Basel come to prove
that Azerbaijan continues to ignore the statements of the Co-Chairs
and does not understand the language the international community is
speaking. Azerbaijan does not understand the declarative language;
therefore, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs should make corresponding
conclusions," Minister Nalbandian told reporters after the meeting.
A few days ago the Turkish Foreign Minister called on Armenia to start
cooperating with neighbors. In response to this, Edward Nalbandian
said "our foreign policy has always targeted the establishment and
development of cooperation with all countries."
"But is it possible to cooperate with a country, which refuses to
establish diplomatic relations with Armenia, which keeps the border
closed and comes forth with a number of hostile expressions related
to Armenian and the Armenian people?" Minister Nalbandian said.
"It will be possible to cooperate with Turkey, when the latter
faces its own history and when it agrees to meet the commitments
it has assumed," Minister Nalbandian said. He reminded that "the
international community has declared on many occasions that the ball
is in the Turkish court."
Latvia will preside over the European Union in 2015. In this regard,
the Latvian Foreign Minister noted that "it's important to discuss the
issue of the Eastern Partnership roadmap. "Taking into consideration
Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union, it will implement
individual partnership plans with EU member states," Edgars Rinkevics
said.
