Official

RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan made a speech during the 15th meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation.

Oskanyan mentioned that despite the problems, the BSEC countries have much in common. And in order to create a balanced atmosphere for settling political issues the countries must put aside their disagreements. The Minister stressed that leaving each other out while creating new transport knots is unacceptable for the countries of an organization.

Referring to the membership of Bulgaria and Romania in the EU Minister Oskanyan underlined that it gives the BSEC countries a new chance to closely cooperate with the EU taking into account general interests.

As a result of the session of the Foreign Ministers a joint declaration was adopted, and Serbia took up the presidency over the organization.

Within the framework of the session the RA Foreign Minister also met the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The sides discussed mutual relations, as well as regional issues. A reference was also made to the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
