Armenia-NATO cooperation proceeds from interests of both sides and
is not directed against any third state, according to a NATO official.
"Cooperation between Armenia and NATO is not influenced from outside,"
Jean-Francois Bureau, NATO Assistant Secretary General for Public
Diplomacy, said at a meeting with students of Yerevan State University.
"NATO doesn’t interfere in relations between member states
and aspirants to the Alliance but helps them to establish
cooperation. Russia should not concern over development of relations
between Armenia and NATO, since it doesn’t represent a menace," he
said, adding that the Alliance calls on Georgia to improve relations
with Russia.
Mr. Bureau also briefed on the Alliance’s activity, perspectives of
Armenia-NATO cooperation and implementation of the IPAP.
