On June 28 Aram Gaspari Sargsyan, the leader of the Democratic Party,
told details of the visit of the NATO delegation to Armenia last
week. The delegation of NATO including 17 people visited different
ministries, from the Ministry of Energy to the Ministry of Defense.
But Aram Gaspari Sargsyan’s information is about the round-table
meeting at the parliament, in which the representatives of the
Committee of Defense and the Committee of External Relations
participated. Aram Sargsyan affirms that the NATO delegates put the
questions definitely and openly.
"They offered five questions: explain what your complementary policy
is, the representatives of NATO say. Second, take into account that
the way to the European Union passes via NATO. Third, who are you
afraid of in NATO? Four, you cannot be in NATO and somewhere else
simultaneously. Eventually, are you with NATO or with Russia? This
was in Yerevan and I think this is political coercion," says Aram
Gaspari Sargsyan. It is coercion since it is uttered now when Armenia
announces that NATO membership is not a foreign political priority.
