/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Security Strategy of Armenia is expected to be
submitted to the National Assembly already in the second half of the year
2007, Deputy Defense Minister of Armenia lieutenant general Artur Aghabekian
stated at a seminar devoted to Armenia’s joining to the NATO Individual
Partnership Action Plan (IPAP). In his words, the Strategy will become the
main force in the defense reforms planned to be implemented before 2015,
after which the working out of the Security Doctrine will begin. As noted by
Mr. Aghabekian, NATO has only a consultative role in the working out of
these documents, specifically in training personnel, introduction of methods
and management. `We do not expect any financial support from the NATO in
these issues,’ A. Aghabekian noted.
