ARMENIA HAS NOT APPROVED MINSK GROUP'S SUGGESTIONS ON KARABAKH
The talks on the November 29-30 meeting of OSCE Foreign Ministers' summit were a bit harder than last year. Today, on a press conference Foreign Minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanian reminded that this time a civil statement was not adopted either. The participants failed to come to consensus about the improvement of OSCE structure, fight against terrorism, settlement of conflicts and weapon monitoring.
Oskanian emphasized the discussions of the issues of struggle against discrimination and abuse, struggle against trafficking, nature and wildlife protection, as well as the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Foreign Minister also said that during his December 4-5 visit to Moscow he met with his Russian colleague Sergey Lavrov and discussed the present state and the perspectives of Armenia-Russia relations and a number of regional issues. Karabakh conflict was one of the most important topics of Oskanian-Lavrov conversation.
In Moscow Vardan Oskanian also met with Secretary General of CSTO Nikolay Bordiuzha in order to discuss the bilateral partnership in the frameworks of that organization and the issues connected with Armenia's chairmanship in CSTO next year.
To foreign diplomatic representatives to Armenia, residing in Moscow, Mr. Oskanian represented the priorities of the foreign policy of the Republic of Armenia and the latest progress of peace process on Karabakh, as well as the social and legislation reforms and the situation on the eve of presidential elections in Armenia.
On December 7, Strasbourg, met with the members of the European Council Foreign Ministers Committee Monitoring Group.
On the meeting with Council of Europe Secretary General Terry Davis the Foreign Minister of Armenia rose the question of sending a monitoring mission to Nakhijevan. He was informed that the monitoring of culture heritage in Nakhijevan shall most probably take place in the first quarter of 2008. Mr. Oskanian stated that Armenia and Nagonro-Karabkah are ready for monitoring on their own territory.
In any case, Vardan Oskanian said he is optimistic about the talks on peace settlement of the Karabakh issue and added that Prime Minister Serge Sarkisian shares his optimism and is well informed about the negotiation process. Nevertheless the Foreign Minister informed that the Armenian Government has not yet approved the OSCE Minsk Group's suggestions on Karabakh, made during the meeting in Madrid.
