    Yerevan, 28 April: Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan met NATO Deputy
    Secretary-General Claudio Bisogniero in Yerevan today.

    Sargsyan said at the meeting that the European direction remains as
    one of the priorities of the Armenian foreign policy, and cooperation
    with NATO is one of the most important components, the press service
    of the Armenian president told Mediamax today.

    The president also noted that cooperation with NATO within the
    framework of the Partnership for Peace programme is an element for
    ensuring Armenia's national security.

    Bisogniero expressed his satisfaction with the progress reached between
    Armenia and NATO on various spheres. NATO deputy secretary-general
    highly praised defence reforms carried out in Armenia, as well as
    Armenia's participation in peacekeeping operations.

    The two men expressed the same opinion that Armenia's Individual
    Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) with NATO is a good tool for developing
    cooperation.

    Bisogniero welcomed the Armenian-Turkish political dialogue and the
    progress reached in this sphere. As for the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict
    settlement, NATO deputy secretary-general said that the alliance is
    monitoring the process and welcomes any efforts that will facilitate
    solution of the problem.

    NATO deputy secretary-general also met with Armenian Speaker Hovik
    Abrahamyan and Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan in Yerevan today.
