On June 27, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian received
Celeste Wallander, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence.
Edward Nalbandian expressed confidence that the launched cooperation
between the two countries will further enlarge.
The MFA press service reports, the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Defence, in his part, expressed satisfaction with the Armenian-American
interaction dynamically developing and underlined that the United
States will continue to support Armenia's efforts undertaken towards
the peacekeeping, military education and defence reforms. The
interlocutors touched upon the military assistance provided by
the United States to Armenia, the cooperation between Armenia and
the NATO, and the works carried out in that format. In the course
of the meeting, the sides touched upon Armenia's participation in
the peacekeeping operations of the international community. In that
context, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense highly assessed
Armenia's contribution to the peacekeeping operations, particularly
welcoming the tripling of the number of the Armenian peacekeeping
forces in Afghanistan.
The Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs presented the developments
around the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue and the results
of the Kazan meeting. In that context, Minister Nalbandian underlined
that progress was not achieved in Kazan meeting, because despite the
calls and expectations of the heads of the mediatory countries and
international community, Azerbaijan was not ready to accept the last
version of the Basic principles proposed by the Co-Chairs, putting
forward dozens of amendments.
