    Yerevan, 22 May: Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakosyan
    met the special representative of the NATO secretary-general for the
    South Caucasus, Robert Simmons, today, a source in the press service
    of the Armenian Foreign Ministry has said.

    Summing up the outcome of working meetings of representatives of NATO
    and members of inter-agency commissions for the implementation of the
    Individual Partnership Action Plan [IPAP] programme on 18-19 May,
    Simmons highly appreciated the implementation of the plan and said
    that Armenia had made considerable progress in the implementation of
    the provisions of the programme within a short time.

    Kirakosyan said that cooperation with NATO and Armenia's participation
    in the IPAP programme and the Partnership for Peace programme are an
    important element of the country's security system.

    He also stressed the importance of expanding political dialogue with
    NATO, carrying out relevant reforms in the defence system and devising
    a national security conception.

    The sides also stressed the importance of informing the wider
    public of NATO's purposes and policies, especially of cooperation
    between Armenia and NATO. The deputy foreign minister touched on the
    settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict and the current status
    of Armenian-Turkish relations.
