Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan says Armenia's integration
into NATO is not on the agenda and will not be in the near future.
A correspondent for the Russian newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta asked
whether Armenia wouldn't find it difficult as Georgia and possibly
Azerbaijan are planning to join the organization.
Sargsyan responded that each state had a right to select a system of
security for itself.
"Russia is Armenia's strategic partner. I hope that Georgia and Russia
will find a way out of the existing situation without a negative
influence on our security," stressed Sargsyan.
