/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today there is no issue of becoming a NATO
member-state in Armenia’s foreign agenda, RA Defense Minister Michael
Haroutyunyan stated. He said, possibilities of coupling and relevantly
synchronous, proportional development of security policy in both
directions – NATO and CSTO, are conditioned with common tasks, which
stand in front of these two security systems, common approaches to
neutralize security threats, presence of common interests.
"Today it is becoming obvious that in order to settle security
problems in their influence zones both CSTO and NATO added to their
arsenal principally similar approaches and global scale and actuality
of international threats moved aside existing differences, making the
sides more and more widen frames of cooperation. Following the course
of complimentary policy, within the limits of our possibilities we are
trying to create a field of constructive cooperation between interested
states and security systems, guiding ourselves by common interests
and assisting alleviation of existing differences. We can say that
Armenia’s cooperation in the framework of CSTO and cooperation with
NATO do not contradict each other, just the opposite, they supplement
each other, creating additional guarantees for security both for our
country and the whole region," Michael Haroutyunyan said, "Krasnaya
Zvezda" reports.
