Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian's Meetings in Germany
Minister Oskanian took part in the 43rd Munich Conference on Security
Policy, held on February 10. For over 35 years, this conference has been the
preeminent forum for discussing issues of security among the world's major
nations. Policies and frameworks have been probed, differences expertly
debated. These discussions have evolved to cover a wide range of problems,
which go well beyond traditional military concerns.
In the margins of the conference, Minister Oskanian held a meeting with
Georgian Foreign Minister Gela Bezhuashvili.
The Ministers discussed the present level of bilateral relations, the
positions of the two countries on regional conflicts as well as the
possibilities of concluding the process of border delimitation between the
two countries.
Minister Oskanian once again presented his colleague with the Armenian
position on the GUAM resolution at the UN General Assembly, stressing that
the passage of this resolution will have a negative impact on creating an
athmosphere of trust in the region.
Other regional issues as well as the current state of Georgian-Russian
relations were also discussed. The two sides agreed to arrange high level
visits.
Minister Oskanian's next meeting was with the Political Director at the
German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Michael Schaefer. During the meeting the
future prospects of Armenia-EU cooperation in the framework of the EU New
Neighborhood Policy, Armenia - Turkey relations as well as the current state
of the Nagorno Karabakh Conflict negotiations were discussed.
On February 11, Foreign Minister Oskanian visited Cologne, where during his
meeting with members of the Armenian communities of various German cities,
he spoke about Armenia's ongoing reforms, about the Karabakh negotiations
process and gave details on the rural development program which was the main
agenda item of the 2006 Armenia Diaspora Conference.
