the twenty-year long history of the Armenian-Austrian relations and
it offered a new quality to the agenda of the bilateral cooperation.

development of the relations with Austria also in the multilateral
format, including the active cooperation in the framework of the
European Union.

the Austrian Development Agency to implement projects in the South
Caucasus and, particularly, in Armenia.
