Narrative:

We were cruising at FL360 when we got a 'right engine oil press' warning message. We complied with the QRH which indicated us to divert to the nearest suitable airport; and we also shut the engine down. We first decided to go to ZZZ (was the closest); but the WX was not very good (2 SM BKN003 and -sn). After talking with dispatch and ATC; we decided to go to ZZZ1 where the WX was good; and it had a long runway. An emergency was declared; and the landing was uneventful.
