Millennium Challenge Account to Promote Political Reform in Armenia
Armenia is pleased with the participation in the Millennium Challenge Account, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian stated in an interview with H2, the second Armenian Public TV Channel. He informed that he together with the Finance and Economy Minister will attend the ceremony of signing an agreement with Millennium Challenges Corp in Washington on March 27. "This is a very serious program that will promote political reform. At that the Armenia-U.S. relations will reach a new level," Oskanian noted. When touching upon the energy problems the RA FM noted that diversification of energy sources is very important for Armenia. "In this view we are interested in the U.S.'s approaches in this field. Our energy security is conditioned by the capability to use the nuclear energy resources," Vartan Oskanian underscored.
