/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today Armenian President Robert Kocharian met with
EU Troika delegation, led by Finnish FM Erkki Tuomioja, reports the
Press Office of the Armenian leader. During the meeting the President
was content with the institutional contacts between Armenia and EU
starting in 1999, when Finland was presiding it as now. Noting the
importance of successful completion of the Armenia-EU Action Plan
within the ENP, the President said Armenia is prepared for serious
work and considers the EU Action Plan as a new opportunity to implement
purposeful and coordinated reforms. In his turn, Erkki Tuomioja stated
that EU highlights progress in the Caucasus, especially the need for
free and fair elections. The parties also discussed developments in
the Karabakh settlement. Kocharian noted that conflicts like the
Karabakh one can be solved by talks, discussions exclusively and
never by resolutions and votes. The parties also exchanged views on
the Armenian-Turkish relations.
