Oskanian: Armenia needs Europe's support
On March 15-16, Armenia's Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian participated in Brussels Forum 2008, the RA MFA press office said.

In his speech the Armenian Minister touched upon the February 19 presidential election, describing the post-election events as a temporary departure from democracy and lack of public trust in political and social institutes.

Minster Oskanian mentioned media and education as priorities of Armenia-Europe cooperation. "Now, Armenia needs Europe's support as never before," he said.

Vartan Oskanian also met with EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana to discuss the ways of normalization of the post-election situation in Armenia.
