    ARMENIA CONFIRMS EURO-ATLANTIC PRIORITIES

    Regnum, Russia
    Aug. 8, 2006

    "Full Integration into European structures and institutions is
    Armenia's main foreign policy objective. Armenia also intends to
    intensify practical and political co-operation with NATO in order
    to draw closer to the Alliance," say Armenia's Commitments under the
    Individual Partnership Action Plan with NATO, a document published on
    the official site of the Defense Ministry of the Republic of Armenia.

    The document says that "Armenia wishes to promote regional security and
    stability in the Caucasus and is determined to work constructively to
    develop and improve relations with its neighbors. Armenia will work
    towards a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and
    is fully supportive of the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group in this
    regard. Armenia seeks normalization of relations with Turkey and is
    determined to pursue constructive dialogue, including direct talks
    with Turkey, towards this end."

    "Armenia is determined to strengthen its capabilities to combat
    terrorism and organized crime. Armenia also intends to enhance its
    capabilities to manage the consequences caused by terrorist acts
    and organized crime. Building on existing co-operation with NATO in
    this area, Armenia is ready to become more actively involved in the
    implementation of relevant programs and activities and in particular
    the Partnership Action Plan against Terrorism, including exchange of
    relevant intelligence. Armenia intends to take further legislative
    and practical measures to combat organized crime." "Armenia intends to
    develop and strengthen democratic control and civilian oversight of its
    armed forces. Armenia also intends to promote civilian participation
    in development of defense and security policy," says the document.
