Armenia does not even consider entrance into NATO, it simply cooperates
with the alliance. Foreign Minister of Armenia, Edward Nalbandyan,
announced this today at a joint press conference with Czech foreign
Minister Karl Schwarzenberg in Yerevan. Nalbandyan said, "Armenia
does not put the issue of entrance into NATO on its foreign policy
agenda." He added, "the two-year program of individual cooperation
of our country with NATO was accomplished recently. After that,
representatives of Armenia and NATO had meetings and negotiations
in Brussels. Our cooperation was considered to be positive. A new
two-year cooperation program is being worked out."
