    ARMENIAN FM SAYS NATO CAN BE IMPORTANT TO PEACE IN SOUTH CAUCASUS REGION

    Associated Press
    Oct 6 2005

    NATO can be a key player in helping stabilize the troubled southern
    Caucasus region that includes Armenia, the country's foreign minister
    said Thursday.

    Speaking at a joint seminar of the parliament and representatives of
    the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Vardan Oksanyan said "NATO can play
    a large role in establishing peace in the south Caucasus and bring
    countries of the region into peaceful dialogue."

    The region is troubled by tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia
    over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave, and neighboring Georgia
    is trying to bring two separatist regions back under the central
    government's control.

    Armenia is a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization,
    which includes Russia and four other ex-Soviet states. Russia has
    troops based in Armenia, but Oksanyan said "at the same time we are
    working closely with NATO."
