    Armenia doesn't intend to join NATO but will deepen relations

    Yerevan. (Interfax) - Armenia intends to deepen relations with NATO
    but has no plans of joining the alliance, Armenian Foreign Minister
    Vardan Oskanian told a Wednesday news conference.

    "Our stance amounts to the maximum expansion and deepening of
    relations with the alliance. I don't know what NATO thinks of it but
    membership in the alliance is not on our agenda today," he said.

    As for Armenia's plans for sending a group of 50 servicemen to Iraq,
    Oskanian said that it would be a humanitarian mission consisting of
    doctors, drivers and sappers.

    He emphasized that from the very start Armenia was opposed to
    military presence in Iraq.
