/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "As I reflect on the priorities of the organization
as a whole, I must address the CFE, a foundational issue and one that
plays an important role in the edifice of military strategic security
for the area," Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said in his
speech at the 15th session of the OSCE Council of Foreign Ministers.
"Presently it is in trouble. We are a state party and the effective
functioning of a Treaty in full implementation is essential to our
national security.
Frankly, we are deeply concerned by our neighbor Azerbaijan blatantly
and unapologetically exceeding by substantial numbers its holdings of
TLEs. It is in this sense that the reinvigoration of the CFE and its
adapted successor is vital for all state parties," the Minister said.
