/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia is not concerned over the fact that Turkey
coordinates the NATO Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP), ARF
Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Office Director Kiro Manoian told a
news conference in Yerevan today. In his words, Armenia should not have
concerns about the state that coordinates its activities. "Turkey here
represents the NATO but not itself. We should either participate in
the NATO’s game or not. We have no right to lay down terms. Turkey
doesn’t pursue its own policy and its actions are guided by the
interests of the Alliance," Manoian said.
As for Armenia’s relations with NATO and CSTO, he remarked that in
both cases Armenia should be a reliable partner. "If this rule is
observed the republic will have no problem with these organizations,"
Manoian said adding that it’s included in the complimentary policy
of the Armenian state.
