Representatives of political forces represented in the Armenian
parliament are positive about the deepening of relations between
Armenia and NATO.

The leader of the United Labour Party (ULP), Gurgen Arsenyan, said
today that “rapprochement with NATO meets Armenian interests”. Asked
by our parliamentary correspondent, he said that the ULP supported
Armenia’s full membership of the security system in the Euro-Atlantic
area.

The leader of the Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction, Levon
Lazarian, hailed the Individual Partnership Action Plan [IPAP]
between Armenia and NATO, noting that he considered this process in
the contexts of Armenia’s complementary foreign policy. At the same
time, he said that “it was too early” to talk about Armenia and other
South Caucasus countries’ full membership of NATO.

The secretary of the opposition Justice bloc, Viktor Dallakyan, said
today that “the three countries of the South Caucasus were doomed to
becoming members of a single security system which is most likely to
be NATO”.
