NATO will provide technology that will help Armenia protect its
state borders.

The authorities of Armenia have asked NATO to provide technological
assistance to protect the sections of the state border under Armenia’s
control, the NATO secretary general’s envoy to South Caucasus Robert
Simmons told a news conference in Yerevan on Friday.

The alliance is working together with Armenia’s National Security
Service to protect the Armenian-Georgian border, Simmons said.

NATO has similar cooperation with other countries, he said.

Armenia and Russia conduct joint patrols of Armenia’s borders with
Turkey and Iran.
