YEREVAN, JULY 23, ARMENPRESS: Foreign minister Vartan Oskanian
received July 22 a joint delegation of the German Marshall Fund (GMF)
of the U.S and Project on Transitional Democracies (PTD). The
Armenian foreign affairs ministry said the delegation has arrived
here to examine the Nagorno Karabagh conflict history and its
consequences and to learn the positions of Armenia and Karabagh on
how it should be resolved through a series of meetings and
discussions.
The delegation’s visit is within the frameworks of GMF and PTD
Project on the Resolution of Europe’s Frozen Conflicts. One of its
goals is to inform leading experts and decision-makers in Washington
and NATO on the Karabagh conflict, encouraging interested governments
to show assistance for its resolution.
The delegation members were received the same day by Armenian
president and deputy defense minister. Today they are leaving for
Karabagh on a one-day visit to meet with its authorities. After
wrapping up the visit the delegation members will present their
findings to senior officials and lawmakers in Washington.
