REPORT ON NATIONAL SECURITY PRINCIPLES READY

YEREVAN, APRIL 27, ARMENPRESS: Armenian defense minister Serzh Sarkisian
said today that the report on the basic principles of Armenia’s national
security was prepared and will be first of all submitted to defense
ministry’s leadership.
He said the report will be posted on the ministry’s web site for mass
media and the public at large to be able to get acquainted with it.
Sarkisian also said the deadline for submitting Armenia’s priorities to
NATO headquarters in Brussels for developing Individual Partnership Plan of
Actions between Armenia and NATO was not defined yet.
Sarkisian was talking to reporters after the Constitutional Court found
that provisions of a June 18, 2004 agreement on joint use of military
facilities and operative equipment on the territory of member countries of
the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) were in conformity with
Armenia’s Constitution.
Presenting the agreement Sarkisian said its ratification stems from
Armenia’s national interests and will serve development of practical
interaction of CSTO member countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Armenia. Sarkisian said the agreement was not yet
ratified by any of CSTO member countries.
