    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Secretary of the National Security Council at
    the Armenian President, Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan met with
    US Senator Norm Coleman, reported Defense Ministry Press Secretary,
    colonel Seyran Shahsuvaryan. In the course of the meeting S. Sargsyan
    remarked that the US-Armenia relations develop pretty rapidly. Within
    the context of military cooperation he noted that it started three
    years ago and documents that form favorable conditions for promotion
    of the relations were signed within that period. "I am sure that the
    final returns of the assessment of the Armed Forces of Armenia will be
    satisfying, as oral opinions are rather positive," the Minister said.
    Touching upon Armenia-NATO cooperation, he accentuated that the volume
    of cooperation with the NATO has increased several times. Adding
    that Armenia's foreign policy agenda does not include accession to
    the NATO, he said Armenia considers cooperation with the NATO and
    the US a national security constituent. At the same time Armenia
    develops cooperation with European countries, NATO member and
    non-member states, has military cooperation with Russia and CSTO
    countries. "The most important thing is that we have no differences
    in this respect," the Minister stated. In his turn N. Coleman noted,
    "I know the level of the Armed Forces of Armenia is rather high and
    we establish close ties both in the defense and other spheres." In
    his words, he had conversations with defense evaluation specialists,
    who held a positive opinion of the Armenian Armed Forces. "I have
    come intending to get to know what exactly is necessary for further
    development of the US-Armenian relations," Coleman said.
