    Minister Oskanian was received by Austria's Minister of Foreign Affairs,
    Mrs. Ursula Plassnik on Monday, April 16 in Vienna. The extensive meeting

    matters. Minister Oskanian briefed his Austrian colleague on developments
    in the Nagorno Karabakh settlement process. Minister Plassnik asked about
    the upcoming elections and stressed their importance.

    Austria's Secretary of State Hans Winkler hosted a working lunch for the
    Minister and the delegation. The two discussed the full bilateral agenda,
    together with regional matters and issues related to the European Union's
    policies in the Caucasus.

    On the evening of April 16, Minister Oskanian addressed a full house at
    the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna. The audience included diplomats,
    students and journalists, as well as members of the Armenian community.
    The Minister presented Armenia's foreign policy choices, decisions and
    directions in the context of the Caucasus region, the neighborhood and
    global developments.

    On April 17, Minister Oskanian met with the Austrian National Council's
    Foreign Relations Committee. Members of the committee heard the Minister
    address their questions regarding Armenia's democratic and economic
    development, upcoming elections, the role of women in government,
