Armenia
Today the conference on the planning of the NATO Cooperative Longbow/
Lancer military exercise kicked off in Yerevan. The head of the
General Staff of the Armenian Armed Force Seiran Ohanyan stated that
110 representatives of 20 countries participate in the event.
Azerbaijan had also been invited but refused to participate in the
exercise.
"Holding the exercise in Armenia is a good tradition, and its geography
is expanded year by year. In 2003 Armenia hosted the Joint Best Effort,
the Rescuer in 2006, the Combined Endeavor in 2007.
However, the Cooperative Longbow/ Lancer will be the biggest military
exercise by far held in the South Caucasian region," Seiran Ohanyan
said, adding that the purpose of the Cooperative Longbow/ Lancer is
to set up cooperation for security and exchange of experience.
