    EDWARD NALBANDIAN: OSCE FIELD ASSESSMENT MISSION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE UN

    "There are no issues in relations with Georgia, which cannot be
    settled through negotiations and meetings," Armenian Foreign Minister
    Edward Nalbandian said at a joint press conference with his Georgian
    counterpart Grigol Vashadze.

    The Armenian Foreign Minister noted that trade turnover between
    Georgia and Armenia increased 50% in the course of the first nine
    months of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 and there is
    the possibility to increase this index by the end of the year up to
    USD 200mln. He positively assessed this "positive dynamics," adding
    that this year over 300 thousand tourists from Armenia visited Georgia.

    "The OSCE field assessment mission, that will arrive in the region to
    carry out monitoring in the liberated territories surrounding Artsakh,
    has nothing to do with the UN or the draft resolution submitted by
    Azerbaijan," Armenian Foreign Minister stated.

    proposal suggested by Azerbaijan in that institution, informed the
    Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, today on the press
    conference, noting that on this mission will participate one or two
    experts of one of the UN institutions.

    "This is the mission of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs, only
    representatives from UNHCR Office will accompany the mediators as
    technical experts," Minister Nalbandian said, adding that "the mission
    aims to study the situation in the region." "You know that two of the
    Co-Chairs are new and they will use this opportunity to get detailed
    information about the situation on those territories," he said.

    "Georgian authorities have not made any oral or written commands on
    closing Upper Lars checkpoint. The closure of the checkpoint during
    the recent days was due to technical problems," Georgian Foreign
    Minister Grigol Vashadze told a press conference in Yerevan today.

    Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian said they had discussed the issue with
    his Georgian counterpart earlier today and the latter explained the
    checkpoint had been closed due to technical problems and vowed it
    will open within several hours.
