The official thanked Armenia for its contribution in the Alliance’s operations held in Afghanistan and Kosovo. In Mr.Appathurai’s words, a meeting of the defense ministers of the respective countries having military units in Afghanistan is to set to be held in Brussels, with the attendance of Armenia’s defense minister. He informed that among numerous issues, the meeting will also address the issue of slightly increasing the peacekeeping troops in Afghanistan.
“In many spheres Armenia-NATO cooperation is in line with a broader fretwork agreement,” the official added.
