    President Serzh Sargsyan today met with the Secretary General of
    the Council of the European Union, Javier Solana and the President
    of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso. Regional issues
    were discussed. As it is known, Serzh Sargsyan had meetings with
    his Azerbaijani and Turkish counterparts, after which Turkish media
    disseminated false comments.

    Armenian reporters tried to find out the truth Foreign Minister
    Edward Nalbandian.

    "During the meeting Serzh Sargsyan and Abdullah Gul agreed to honor
    the previous agreements and normalize the Armenian-Turkish relations
    without preconditions and within a reasonable time frame. The
    Presidents of Armenia and Turkey instructed the Foreign Ministers
    to continue the meetings to determine the future steps," the Foreign
    Minister said. According to Edward Nalbandian, the fabricated comments
    of the Turkish media that a meeting of the Presidents of Armenia,
    turkey, Azerbaijan and Russia are expected to meet, do not correspond
    to reality.

    As for the meeting of Presidents Sargsyan and Aliyev, the negotiations
    proceeded on the basis of the Madrid Proposals. "The OSCE Minsk Group
    Co-Chairs will visit he region before the economic summit in Saint
    Petersburg in June to prepare another meeting between the Presidents
    of Armenia and Azerbaijan," the Foreign Minister said.

    Speaking about the Eastern Partnership, Minister Nalbandian said
    it would provide an opportunity to the partner countries to deepen
    the cooperation with the European Union. The Presidents of the
    six countries included in the program will meet once a year to
    discuss the programs and work out the steps. "The principle is as
    follows. The format of cooperation with every country will shaped for
    that particular country, taking into consideration to what extent the
    country is ready to undertake steps towards deepening of relations
    with the European Union," the Foreign Minister of Armenia stated.

    According to Edward Nalbandian, we should try to get actively involved
    in the Eastern Partnership Program in order to get closer to Europe
    and develop cooperation,"
