Yerevan, 8 December: Relations with NATO are one of the key elements
in Armenia’s policy of European integration, Armenian Deputy Foreign
Minister Arman Kirakosyan said in Yerevan today.
Kirakosyan said this at the opening of the international conference
"NATO-Armenia. The new partnership agenda", organized by the Institute
of Civil Society and Regional Development [ICSRD] with the assistance
of the NATO Public Diplomacy Division.
Kirakosyan noted that the reforms carried out in Armenia are aimed
at strengthening the state structure and making it meet European
standards. "Armenia chooses European standards, as modern Europe is
a successful model of statehood and civil society," Kirakosyan said.
He said that cooperation with NATO is helping Armenia to establish a
modern system for guaranteeing state security and that the Armenia-NATO
Individual Partnership Action Plan is playing a central role in that.
Commenting on the possibility of NATO’s participation in the
settlement of the conflicts in the South Caucasus, Kirakosyan noted
that representatives of the alliance have repeatedly announced that
they do not intend to interfere in these processes.
