Armenia Does Not Seek NATO Membership, Welcomes Substantive Engagemt

ARMENIA DOES NOT SEEK MEMBERSHIP IN NATO AND ALLIANCE WELCOMES ITS
SUBSTANTIVE ENGAGEMENT

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 2, NOYAN TAPAN. "We are very pleased with Armenia’s
engagement with NATO via its Individual Partnership Action Plan," is
said in a press release submitted to NT by the US embassy. At the same
time, it is noted that Mr. Frank Boland, from NATO’s International
Staff is in Yerevan this week to evaluate this progress in a more
technical nature.

"Each Partner country makes its own decisions on how closely it will
integrate with the Alliance. Armenia has made clear that it does not
seek membership in the Alliance and NATO acknowledges this decision
while at the same time welcoming its substantive engagement," the
authors of the press release note, regretting the error in a press
statement issues by the Marshall Center on January 31 as "it does not
reflect either U.S. or NATO policy."
