Armenia should speed up its cooperation with NATO, which will help
increase guarantees of regional security, the head of the commission
on defence, national security and interior issues, Mger Shakhgeldyan,
stated at a press conference at the Pakagits Club today.
He stressed that he was not diminishing the role and importance of the
CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization [CSTO] as a guarantor of
regional security. Shakhgeldyan said that the deepening of Armenia’s
cooperation with NATO will not obstruct the country’s membership of
the CSTO.
“So far, the CSTO has not expressed its dissatisfaction with the
intensification of Armenia’s relations with NATO. In turn, NATO has
not expressed its dissatisfaction with Armenia’s membership of the
CSTO either,” Shakhgeldyan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
