Foreign minister of Armenia, Vartan Oskanian, made a speech at the
session of UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, March 15. Oskanian
focused on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the
international community and the issue of Nagorno Karabakh people’s
self-determination. Touching on Turkey’s recent call for historical
debate, the minister repeated that Armenia will not participate in it
as it “delays the process of reconciling with the truth”.

Vartan Oskanian left for Vienna March 15 evening where he was to meet
the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs. He will discuss issues concerning the
OSCE monitoring mission’s report as well as issues concerning the next
meeting of Armenian and Azeri foreign ministers.
