/PanARMENIAN.Net/ During his working visit to the US, on March 30
and 31 Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian met with UN Secretary-General
Kofi Annan, Chair of the 60th session of the UN GA Jan Eliasson and
UNDP Administrator Kemal Dervis, reports the Armenian MFA Press
Service. Oskanian presented the current phase of settlement of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, as well as breaks of the cease-fire
during the meetings with Kofi Annan and Jan Eliasson. The Armenian
FM expressed concern over militant statements of Azeri authorities,
adding breaks of the cease-fire regime by the Azeri Armed Forces are
a reflection of those statements.

Besides, the interlocutors discussed UN reform and the Armenian FM
presented Armenia’s stance over the matter. During those meetings,
as well as that with Kemal Dervis, Oskanian noted Armenia’s commitment
to promote rural development. In his words, the Millennium Challenge
Compact, signed in the US, will convey a new impulse to Armenian
Government’s commitment to work out a comprehensive program to develop
the agrarian sector – based on public and private cooperation, which
will include the Diaspora, entrepreneurs from Armenia, the Government
and international organizations.
