YEREVAN, March 7. /ARKA/. The USA welcomes military-political
cooperation with Armenia, Deputy Assistant of State for European
and Eurasian Affairs Matthew Bryza told reporters. “This cooperation
depends on the Armenian Government, and we welcome it,” he said.

“I do not think that Armenia will advance in this cooperation at such
a rate that would be too rapid for us,” Bryza said.

He pointed out that he was satisfied with the level of cooperation
with Armenia in this sphere. Particularly, the representative of State
Department pointed out the development of Armenia’s interaction with
the NATO in the frameworks of the IPAP program.

“I highly appreciate Armenia’s support in peacemaking missions,”
Bryza said and added that the USA will do everything to deepen these
processes.
