ANOTHER STEP TO THE EUROFAMILY

Of all the official visit of last week Vardan Oskanyan found the one to
Brussels the most important. There he represented two documents. According
to him, they were extremely important in the Euro integration of Armenia.
One of them was Armenia’s Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) which
Vardan Oskanyan represented to the NATO Council.

The other was the draft package of the Armenian offers about the EU-Armenia
Joint Actions within the framework of the European Neighborhood program.
Vardan Oskanyan handed it to Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Commissioner for
External Relations and European Neighborhood Policy.

Today Vardan Oskanyan voiced hope that the works on those two documents will
be brought to an end till the end of the year. Within the framework of the
visit to Brussels RA Foreign Minister also had a meeting with the EU Council
Secretary General Javier Solano.

Issues about the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
perspectives of the regional cooperation, including the opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border, as well as the processing of the new RA-EU joint
action within the framework of the European Neighborhood policy have been
discussed.
