    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Immediately in the wake of September 11, 2001
    Armenia has joined the international anti-terror coalition and
    offered the use of its airspace and other tangible assistance for
    the U.S.-led anti-terror operations, Armenian Ambassador to the U.S.
    Tatul Margarian stated. "This also marked the beginning of military
    cooperation between the U.S. and Armenia. It was made possible by the
    waiver of Section 907, while also addressing the concerns of Armenia
    regarding security in the region. The provision of U.S. military
    assistance to Armenia helped the Armenian Armed Forces to establish
    peacekeeping capability and address interoperability issues. The
    Armenian soldiers and officers now serve alongside with their
    partners within NATO's Partnership for Peace program, and in Kosovo,
    and Armenia's contingent is serving in Iraq with many other nations
    of the coalition. Also important for our military cooperation is the
    State Partnership Program between the Kansas National Guard and the
    Armenian Armed Forces. The first phase of our security cooperation
    is nearing completion, and we know better the mutual potential and
    expectations. Armenia's Defense Minister will visit the United States
    later this year to discuss the current level and future prospects
    for our cooperation" he said, Armenpress news agency reports.
