YEREVAN. – Despite different positions all NATO member countries accept and support friendly relations between Armenia and the Alliance, special representative of the NATO Secretary General in the South Caucasus and Central Asia James Appathurai told reporters in Yerevan.

As to the remark that one of the NATO member countries – Turkey – periodically intervenes in the settlement of Karabakh conflict and shows support towards Azerbaijan, Appathurai said it is clear that NATO allies have different political relations with regional players.

However, it is important to remember that despite these different positions, they all accept and support the consistent, friendly and reliable relations between NATO and Armenia.

“I think Armenia also welcomes consistent relations with NATO member countries through the Alliance,” he added.
