/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If the unsettled conflict was not available,
Yerevan would go farther in relations with the NATO, Armenian Defense
Minister Serge Sargsian stated at a meeting with Special
Representative of the NATO Secretary General for the South Caucasus
and Central Asia Robert Simmons. “I want to emphasize that we intend
to extend our relations with the Alliance,” Serge Sargsian noted. In
his turn, speaking of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict Robert Simmons
stated it hampered the development of the countries of the region. “I
think a mutually acceptable agreement will be made. The NATO is not
directly involved in the settlement process. However we closely
follow the developments over solution of the problem,” Robert Simmons
stated.
