    INTEGRATION INTO EUROPE AMONG ARMENIA'S FOREIGN POLITICAL PRIORITIES - PRESIDENT

    Integration into European institutions remains among Armenia's foreign
    political priorities, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said at a
    meeting with NATO Deputy Secretary General Claudio Bisogniero.

    "The European vector remains among Armenia's foreign political
    priorities, and cooperation with NATO is among its crucial elements,"
    Sargsyan said at a meeting with Bisogniero.

    Sargsyan described cooperation between Armenia and NATO under the
    Partnership for Peace program as a component of Armenia's national
    security, the presidential press service told Interfax on Tuesday.

    Bisogniero welcomed Armenian-Turkish political dialogue and progress
    that has been made in it. While NATO is not directly involved in
    the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, it is still closely
    following the development of the situation and welcomes any action
    that could lead to a peaceful resolution of the problem, he said.

    "The parties pointed out that the conflict should be settled in line
    with all principles of international law, and none of these principles
    can be dominating or be invoked at the expense of another," it said.

    Bisogniero said the Alliance welcomed progress visible in various
    areas of cooperation with Armenia. This is the first time a NATO high-
    ranking official has visited Armenia since 2004, which is a sign
    of importance that the Alliance attaches to relations with Armenia,
    the presidential press service said.
