Ambassador of Armenia to NATO. He dwelt on the Armenia-NATO relations,
implementation of the Individual Partnership Action Plan signed
between Armenia-NATO, as well as the report of the NATO commission on
Armenia. "This is the best way to represent the stance of Armenia to
the leading members of the military-political alliance", Mr. Lazarian
says.
To remind; a NATO commission arrived in Armenia in January-February
of the current year to observe the implementation of Individual
Partnership Action Plan.
The report will likely be represented on April 14, during the
recurrent sitting of NATO. The sitting will be presided over by the
NATO General Secretary.
Vardan Oskanyan, RA Foreign Minister, and Serge Sargsyan, RA Defense
Minister, will represent Armenia in the sitting.
RA Ambassador to NATO assures that the RA political agenda doesn't
cover the engagement of Armenia into NATO. "On the whole, the alliance
is not interested in South Caucasian countries separately".
As for the engagement of Georgia and Azerbaijan into NATO,
Mr. Lazarian says the countries will have to solve certain problems
to become members of NATO.
While speaking about Georgia's membership to NATO, Mr. Sargsyan
pointed out, "We shall have a frontier with a NATO member country in
case Georgia is admitted into NATO. Armenia already has a borderline
with Turkey another NATO member country. But the frontier is not open
as Armenia and Turkey are in unfriendly relations".
Mr. Juan Fournet, General Secretary of NATO, seems content with the
implementation of the Individual Partnership Action Plan, and the
report will likely be in favour of Armenia, says the ambassador.
