/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Presently Armenia is developing friendly relations
with the Arab states, Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs
Vardan Oskanian stated at the meeting with the students of the
Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University. According to the Minister,
during his visit to Egypt he signed a memorandum on cooperation and
mutual understanding with the League of Arab States. V. Oskanian
also pointed out to the friendly relations between Armenia and the
Organization of Islamic Conference. However, he said, it would be
rather hard for Armenia to receive a status in the Organization of
Islamic Conference, as its members -Turkey and Azerbaijan – will
certainly put obstacles in the way. When touching upon Armenia’s
participation in the North-South transport corridor Vardan Oskanian
said that taking into account its geographical location and the lack
of the railway the RA is taking part in the project within the limits
of the possible.
