Armenia has never had problems with NATO because of its strategic
cooperation with Russia, RA Ambassador to NATO Samvel Lazarian said
at the NATO PA Rose-Roth March 11 seminar in Yerevan.
According to him, Russia never opposed Armenia-NATO cooperation,
and South Caucasian states collaborate in the frames of alliance
on ecology monitoring of Kura River. Thus, it is a unique case,
as Azerbaijan usually refuses to participate in the program where
Armenia is in. The once-off collaboration of both countries' defense
ministers is also registered at the NATO seminars. Ambassador stressed
that alliance attaches great significance to regional processes,
outlining its assistance to Armenia-Turkey reconciliation.
Armenia is a Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member
along with Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Russia.
