    DEFENCE MINISTER AND BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA TO SIGN MEMORANDUM ON
    MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING ON SEPT 24


    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 23. ARMINFO. The Ministry of Defence of the United
    Kingdom and the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia have
    agreed a Memorandum of Understanding on Defence Contacts and
    Co-operation. The aim of the Memorandum is to further strengthen the
    good relations which already exist between the two Ministries, and to
    serve as a basis for increased co-operation between them in the field
    of defence. ARMINFO was informed in Great Britain's Embassy in
    Armenia.

    HE Mr Serge Sargsian, the Armenian Minister of Defence, and the
    British Ambassador to Armenia, Miss Thorda Abbott-Watt, will sign the
    Memorandum in a short ceremony at the Armenian Ministry of Defence in
    Yerevan on Friday, 24 September 2004.

    Over the last year the United Kingdom has sponsored places for 16
    members of the Armenian Armed Forces to conduct a variety of training
    courses outside Armenia, including the first Armenian cadet ever to
    attend the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. The British Ministry
    of Defence also funds English language training through the
    Peacekeeping English Programme run by the British Council Armenia in
    the Armenian Ministry of Defence. The Memorandum of Understanding
    reflects a common recognition that stable and democratic sovereign
    states contribute to confidence, stability and security in Europe as a
    whole. It will put the existing co-operation programme on a formal
    footing, and enable Britain and Armenia to develop further contacts in
    areas such as the management of defence in democratic societies,
    language training, peace support in humanitarian operations and arms
    control.
