    Special Representative of NATO Secretary General in Central Asia and
    the South Caucasus Robert Simmons will visit Yerevan on October 19-21.

    The Information Center on NATO in Armenia informed that on October 19,
    Robert Simmons will participate in the so-called "VIP-Day" of NATO
    Cooperative Lancer-2008 Exercise in process in Yerevan.

    Within the framework of his visit, Robert Simmons will hold talks
    with representatives of the Armenian leadership, and on October 20,
    will hold a meeting with the students of the Yerevan State Linguistic
    University.

    In late September, 2008, Robert Simmons stated in an interview to
    Mediamax that "I think both sides, NATO and Armenia, can be satisfied
    with the development of our relations over the past five years."

    "Our cooperation has grown significantly in all areas and Armenia has
    been making a valuable contribution to NATO's operation in Kosovo. This
    contribution was recently doubled. Armenia has also increased its
    participation in other Partnership for Peace activities with NATO in
    a wide variety of areas," Robert Simmons stated.

    He noted that, with the agreement of an Individual Partnership Action
    Plan (IPAP) of Armenia with NATO in 2005, "we upgraded our political
    dialogue and practical cooperation across the board and jointly set
    out a programme of reforms to assist Armenia in coming closer to
    Euro-Atlantic standards."

    The Special Representative of NATO Secretary General stated that while
    implementing the IPAP over the last two-and-a-half years, Armenia has
    made serious efforts in a number of areas, especially defense reforms.
