Melek TUZCAN, JTW (SINGAPORE) – Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan who is Asia on official visit met the Foreign Minister of
Singapore Mr. George Yeo. During the meeting both sides discussed the
possible development of bilateral relations and the regional problems.

Oskanyan represented the present state of negotiations of the Karabakh
conflict and Armenian perspectives.

Armenian forces have been occupying a large Azerbaijani territory
including the Karabakh region for more than a decade. The European
Union and OSCE named Armenia as occupier in Karabakh and urged Yerevan
to withdraw its forces. Armenia does not recognise neighboring Turkey’s
and Azerbaijan’s national borders.
