    [No dateline, as received] The Armenian defence minister and secretary
    of the Security Council under the Armenian president, Serzh Sarkisyan,
    today received a [US] delegation led by Senator Chuck Hagel. The US
    ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, and the deputy commander of US
    European Command, Gen Charles Wald, also took part in the meeting.

    Sarkisyan noted that Armenian-American relations are developing
    dynamically. Armenian-American military cooperation which started
    three years ago has expanded. The same can be said about the country's
    cooperation with NATO.

    Senator Hagel thanked the minister for efforts in the struggle against
    international terrorism and Armenia's participation in peacekeeping
    operations in Kosovo and Iraq. He said that thanks to reforms and the
    establishment of democratic institutions the Armenian armed forces
    have made great progress.

    Touching upon the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, Sarkisyan said:
    "We are convinced that the problem can be resolved only peacefully
    and the OSCE Minsk Group is playing a great role in this."
