Armenia-Diaspora Forum Also to Discuss Middle East Situation
The international community does not have a negative attitude towards Armenia, stated Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian at a meeting with Armenian intelligentsia representatives in Yerevan. In his words, the world is well aware of the Karabakh conflict, including on the events in Khojalu that Azerbaijan manipulates with.

The head of the Armenian MFA underscored that the third Armenia-Diaspora forum will adopt a statement of all participants over Nagorno Karabakh. In his words, an opinion on the EU-Turkey talks will also be expressed. «The Lebanese issue is not included in the agenda, however I suppose there will be opinions on the situation in the Middle East,» Oskanian said.

V. Oskanian also added that the number of the co-sponsors of the forum is about 50.
