There is no issue of joining the NATO in the agenda of Armenia’s
foreign policy, RA FM Vardan Oskanyan said at today’s press-conference
after an official opening of the NATO Information Center in
Yerevan. The official opening of Center was held within the frames
of the Week of NATO in Yerevan, having started today.
The Minister reminded that Armenia had started the Individual
Partnership Actions Program (IPAP) with NATO a year ago. The Program
is rather a solid document and its fulfillment will take much time,
the Minister said. In his turn, the NATO deputy Secretary General
on Public Diplomacy Jean Fournet, who participated in the Center
opening ceremony, noted that the cooperation between Armenia and
the Alliance ""is being well developed". He reminded that the NATO
delegation, having recently visited Armenia, will prepare a report on
the course of the Program fulfillment. The preliminary opinion of the
delegation members is positive, J. Fournet added. According to him,
the intermediate estimation indicates the mutual strive of the sides
to the document fulfillment.
