Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan met with Ambassador of the
Netherlands to Armenia, Onno Elderenbosch, the Minister’s spokesman,
col. Seyran Shahsuvaryan told PanARMENIAN.Net.

"Friendship between our countries formed a firm basis for cooperation
in various fields. At that, one of incentives for the Armenian-Dutch
relations is the Netherlands’ position on the Armenian Genocide,"
Minister Ohanyan said. "Our republic has entered a new stage
of cooperation with European countries. We are ready support
peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan, where a 1800-strong Dutch
force is serving. The Armenian Defense Ministry is interested in
establishment of military cooperation with the Netherlands."

In completion of the meeting, the officials expressed hope that
the Armenian-Dutch bilateral cooperation will strengthen and cover
new spheres.
