Armenian FM: Armenia Ready to Cooperate with All Countries in Region

PanARMENIAN.Net - When the European community speaks of regional cooperation, it means open borders between countries of the region, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated at a news conference in Yerevan. In his words, there are problems, however these can be solved by cooperation in economy and security. "Armenia has no problems with Georgia and Iran. If Turkey opens the border, I do not see problems either. We are ready to cooperation, however Azerbaijan is not and does not want normalization of the situation in the region," Oskanian remarked.



In his turn Erkki Tuomioja, the Foreign Minister of Finland hopes that the coming visit of the co-chairs of the OSCE MG over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict may move the process from the stalemate. "There is an opportunity for the OSCE MG to open «window of hope,» Erkki Tuomioja said. As for Nagorno Karabakh being mentioned as belonging to Azerbaijan in the Action Plan within the ENP, he said NK is not mentioned in the document. "The parties to conflict should solve these issues themselves," he underscored.
