    Cooperation within NATO in South Caucasus possible - Armenian army chief

    YEREVAN

    The Armenian side does not share the opinion that the regional
    cooperation in the South Caucasus within the framework of NATO
    Partnership for Peace programme is doomed to failure.

    As Mediamax news agency reported, the head of the General Staff of the
    Armenian Armed Forces, Gen-Col Mikael Arutyunyan announced at a
    session of the chiefs of the general staffs of the military committee
    of the council of the Euro-Atlantic partnership, in Brussels on 5 May.

    "Unfortunately, as a result of a position which is not constructive
    and official bellicose demagogy of the neighbour state, in an
    atmosphere of presumed failure, the regional cooperation in the South
    Caucasus within the framework of the Partnership for Peace programme
    has been created. Non-admission of the Armenian officers to take part
    in planning conference of Cooperative Best Effort exercises in Baku
    and also brutal and an unjustified killing of the Armenian officer
    during the events within the framework of Partnership for Peace
    programme, is complicating, but it does not rule out the possibility
    of the regional cooperation," Mikael Arutyunyan said.

    As Mediamax news agency reported, speaking about the brutal killing of
    the Armenian officer, committed by the Azerbaijani servicemen in
    Budapest, General Arutyunyan announced: "My officer has lost his life
    not as a result of implementing a military task or an accident, but
    because an entire generation brought up to hate everything connected
    with Armenia has grown in the neighbour state".

    The head of the General Staff of the Armenian armed forces expressed
    an opinion that "this hate can be overcome only by the joint efforts
    and the Euro-Atlantic partnership has all the necessary tools for
    that".
