Narrative:

The right engine compressor stalled at FL350. Reduced thrust to idle per immediate action and continued with QRH procedures. Engine recovered to normal operation at flight idle but would stall again when power advanced so we left it at idle; declared an emergency; completed ECAM/QRH and landed at the nearest suitable airport. No visual indication of engine damage or ingestion was found upon inspection on the ground.
