NATO IN THE CENTER OF ATTENTION

For the coming 2 days the issues of cooperation with NATO will be discussed
in Armenia.

A seminar will be organized on April 12-14 to support the Republic of
Armenia as it develops its NATO Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP).
An IPAP for a particular country outlines the general objectives and
timelines for its future activities within the framework of cooperation with
NATO.

Scholars and experts from the Marshall Center will work with representatives
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, and other
ministries that will be involved in IPAP activities on the process of
developing an IPAP, and a discussion of what effects it will have on the
various ministries.

The Marshall Center delegation will be headed by Major General (retired) Dr.
Horst Schmalfeld, German Deputy Director of the George C. Marshall European
Center for Security Studies. The Marshall Center is located in
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
