/PanARMENIAN.Net/ NATO intends to develop cooperation with Armenia
for implementation of defense reforms provided by the Individual
Partnership Action Plan, NATO’s Special Representative for the
Caucasus and Central Asia, Mr Robert Simmons said in an interview
with PanARMENIAN.Net.
"The Armenian National Security Strategy is a good basis for it. Army
reorganization is one of the four key provisions of the IPAP. We
intend to assist Armenia in elaboration and execution of the strategic
defense doctrine including the manpower policy, increase of the
number of civil personnel in the Defense Ministry as well as budget
fixing. NATO will also proceed with political cooperation. Relations
between Armenia and NATO are friendly and fruitful.
NATO’s annual report records positive tendencies in the IPAP
implementation," he said.
