A press release by the RA Foreign Ministry informs that Vartan Oskanian
dwelled upon the questions of 26 Nato ambassadors concerning Nagorno
Karabakh regulation, Armenian-Turkish, Armenian-Russian relations
as well as the cooperation on the sidelines of Collective Security
Agreement.

In Brussels, Minister Oskanian met Nato Secretary General Jaap de Hoop
Schafer and the EU high representative for CFSP Javier Solana. They
discussed the present stage of Karabakh conflict regulation, prospects
of regional cooperation, including the issue of Armenian-Turkish
border opening, EU’s neighborhood policy.

Today, Oskanian will leave for Paris where the OSCE Minsk group
co-chairs will mediate a meeting with Azerbaijani foreign minister
