NATO stands for the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict. NATO
Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy Jean Fournet said at a
press conference today that NATO’s position is clear: the negotiations
on the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict take place in the
framework of another structure.

He appreciated the fact that under the Armenia-NATO Individual
Partnership Action Plan the Armenian authorities will inform the
Alliance about the developments in the negotiation process.

Asked whether Azerbaijan’s possible accession to NATO won’t create
imbalance of the security system in the South Caucasus, Fournet
responded the issue of Azerbaijan’s accession is not on the agenda.

"Azerbaijan is a good partner of the Alliance and has an IPAP.

Partnership is already a very important concept," he said.
