The difficulties that Turkey and Armenia have had in their bilateral
relationship weren’t "serious obstacles" to the development of
NATO-Armenia relations in the past, NATO Secretary General Andres Fog
Rasmussen stated in his interview to Azerbaijani news source Day.az.
"Armenia has been a member of the Partnership for Peace Programme
since 1994 and NATO-Armenia relations have been developing steadily
for a considerable period of time now. So I do not think there is a
direct link between the two processes."
Besides, Rasmussen stated that the current efforts by Armenia and
Turkey to establish relations can have a beneficial effect not only
on the further development of NATO’s ties with Armenia, but also on
regional security as a whole.
