Yerevan, 3 June: The South Caucasian countries’ admission to NATO will
be a long process and will not become a reality in the near future,
Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan said in Yerevan today.
Oskanyan said that proceeding from the reality and its interests,
Armenia believes that it is expedient to expand its relations with
NATO, but not to raise the issue of the country’s possible membership
of the alliance.
“We see no need for this yet,” he said.
