Narrative:
When leaving cruise altitude of FL340 I reduced the power to flight idle. Almost immediately the right engine generator master caution came on followed shortly after by the right engine oil pressure master warning and aural warning. It was obvious that the right engine had failed. We accomplished the engine failure checklist and established that a restart looked like a good option; so I transferred controls and comm 1 to my first officer; since I had all of the switches on my side and I was on the phone with company maintenance.we all agreed to attempt a restart; which was successful and all parameters were normal after start. After conferencing with dispatch we determined our safest course of action was to declare an emergency as a precaution; and divert to a nearby airport; which is what we did. I then transferred the controls back to me and landed the aircraft uneventfully.
