    Minister Oskanian Receives Fokion Fotiadis, European Commission's Deputy
    Director General of Directorate General for External Relations

    Minister Oskanian, on April 5, received Fokion Fotiadis, the European
    Commission's Deputy Director of the Directorate General for External
    Relations who was in Armenia on a working visit.

    Congratulating the guest on his appointment, Minister Oskanian expressed
    hope that this first meeting will be the beginning of close cooperation. The
    Minister also noted that Armenia intends to deepen its partnership with the
    European Commission's Directorate General for External Relations.

    The two discussed the Armenia-EU relationship. They focused on regional
    energy issues and specifically Armenia's energy security and sources of
    diversification. In this regard, they exchanged views on the energy
    potential of the South Caucasus and nearby regions, as well as the prospects
    for safe utilization of the atomic energy.

    The Minister and the Deputy Director General discussed in detail the pace
    and progress of the European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plan elaboration
    process. They assessed highly the two stages of consultations already held
    in this connection and expressed confidence that it will be possible to
    conclude the Action Plan during the third round of discussions in May and to
    pass to its implementation.

    Stressing the need for conflict settlement in the region, the two spoke
    about the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and prospects for its peaceful
    settlement. In this regard, Minister Oskanian presented the latest
    developments in the negotiations process.
