Foreign Ministers Borys Tarasyuk of Ukraine and Vartan Oskanian of
Armenia who is on a working visit to Ukraine, met in Kyiv to discuss
matters of bipartite cooperation.

According to Borys Tarasyuk, Ukrainian – Armenian trade relations are
developing positively. In turn, Vartan Oskanian noted that, though
the parties may feel pleased with the figures of their trade turnover,
their capability has not been exhausted. The meeting also dealt with
the so-called "frozen conflicts," in particular, in Transdniestria
and Karabakh.

In this context Borys Tarasyuk stated Ukraine as interested in
regulating the Karabakh conflict. Ukraine, he said, has suggested to
host quadripartite talks to this effect.
