SEVEN OFFICERS OF RA ARMY TO PARTICIPATE IN NATO TRAINING TO BE HELD
IN AZERBAIJAN
STEPANAKERT, August 12 (Noyan Tapan). Armenia will fully participate
in the NATO training. RA Minister of Defence Serge Sargsian told
journalists about it. According to him, 7 officers of commanding
positions will participate in the training to be held in Azerbaijan
within the framework of NATO "The Best Joint Effort - 2004" program.
S. Sargsian noted that the division of the Armenian troops will not
participate in the training since the Azeri side does not guarantee
the safety of the latter. In connection with the statement of the
Azeri Foreign Minister that the training held in Nagorno Karabakh may
have an effect on Armenia's participation in the NATO training, the RA
Minister of Defence noted that if it were so, Armenia would get a
relevant response from NATO. "Let Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign
Affairs occupy himself with his own country, his troops, his
problems. The NKR Defence Army, and, in general, the training of the
Armenian Army is no businees of his. I think that the agreements that
we reached during the previous seminar still remain in force. Our
officers will participate in them," S. Sargsian stressed.
