Yesterday evening Nagorno Karabakh President Arkadi Ghukasian had a telephone conversation with EU special representative for the South Caucasus Heikki Talvitie.

In his words, the Armenian party succeeded in convincing the forum participants that the Armenian Genocide really took place and it should be recognized as the first genocide of the last century.

Relations between Armenia and Turkey bear importance as for stability in the South Caucasus as for all interested parties wishing to work in the region, EU special representative for the South Caucasus Heikki Talvitie said.

The decision by the Turkish hotels' administrations to pass on from "weak" dollar to euro will result in 20% rise in prices for the summer rest in Turkey.

RA minister of energy A. Movsissian noted that Armenia possesses the technical possibility to increase the energy delivery three times and bring it to 3-3,5 million kw per day.

The Committee of the European Parliament on foreign affairs, security and defense has heard and accepted on Tuesday the report of the Swede Deputy Per Garton about the new strategy of the European Union concerning the Southern Caucasus countries. The report is interesting first of all because it calls on to include Armenia and other two countries of the region in the list of countries involved in the program ''Enlarged Europe - New Neighbors''. On February this initiative will be discussed at the plenary session of European Parliament. Moreover, the participation in the program will allow enjoying certain rights available only for full members of the Union, for example, the free circulation of people, goods, services and capitals.
