EU hails OSCE MG efforts to reduce tension in the region and prevent escalation of the conflict.

«Settlement of the Karabakh conflict is held within the OSCE MG and all proposals in this regard should be considered exactly in that context,» the Armenian Premier remarked.

A. Baghdassaryan and UNICEF Armenia Office Chief discussed matters of restoration of pre-school institutions, cooperation opportunities in organizing special education.

«Statements on democratic values of a representative of a country, where the major election campaign argument is power, look utterly cynical,» Russian MP stated.

The government of Turkey has approved the proposal of political strategists insisting on the necessity to discredit Western insurance companies yielding to the pressure of Armenian organizations. The newly established structure in Ankara, known as «the commission for denying the invented Armenian genocide» has sanctioned actions of protest against the decision of French «Axa» insurance company which has agreed to make concessions to Armenians. It is worth reminding that as a result of the judicial process started by the claim of heirs of Turkish Armenian insurance policy holders, the parties reached an agreement according to which the company engaged itself to pay 17 million US dollars to the heirs of insurance holders who had suffered from the events of 1915.
