/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Collective Security Treaty Organization doesn’t
have an agreement on cooperation with NATO yet. Nevertheless, any CSTO
member country has the right to cooperate with any alliance, CSTO
Deputy Secretary-General Toksatyn Buzubayev told a news conference
today.

"Russia, like Armenia, has a partnership plan with NATO. So, Armenia
can launch joint programs with the Alliance if it doesn’t conflict
with the CSTO Charter," he said.

A member of the CSTO, Armenia cooperates with NATO in the framework
of the Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP).
