Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeler celebrated his birthday in
Yerevan Friday where he arrived during his Caucasian tour.

This tour is caused by growing interest of the European Union to the
countries of this region, the Danish minister said at a meeting with
his Armenian counterpart Vartan Oskanyan. Praising highly the
potential of economic development of the South Caucasus the minister
came out in favour of forming normal relations in the region. He
cited the settlement of relations between Denmark and Germany as an
example of positive experience.

At the meeting with the Danish minister Armenian Prime Minister
Andranik Margaryan called energy a promising trend of economic
cooperation with Denmark. He stressed the importance of using
Denmark’s experience for creating alternative sources of electricity
that Armenia is badly in need of.

According to the premier, the appointment of the EU special envoy on
the South Caucasus testifies to the EU growing interest in the
region. In his view, the implementation of the initiative Enlarging
Europe: new neighbours will give a fresh impetus to the peaceful
settlement of the Karabakh conflict and other conflicts.
