A series of classes entitled "NATO as an Element of Western Security
System" officially launched today at Yerevan State University's Centre
for European Studies within the frameworks of NATO Week in Armenia.
The classes are implemented in YSU Center for European Studies by
the specialists of NATO Information Center.
Arthur Ghazinyan, director of the Yerevan State University's Centre
for European Studies, said that the center is happy to replenish its
curriculum with a new subject, which will enable the students to have
more comprehensive idea of the European security system.
Director of NATO Information Center Ara Tadevosyan in his turn noted
that the classes are pilot now and are conducted once a week. Arthur
Ghazinyan and Ara Tadevosyan said that at the beginning of 2012 the
centers will assess the efficiency of the pilot program and will
consider their next steps.
According to Charles Lonsdale, Ambassador of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Armenia, there are still certain
stereotypes on NATO, and the goal of suchlike initiatives is to show
what North Atlantic Treaty presents itself, and how Armenia-NATO
partner relations are developing.
The Ambassador stressed that Armenia's affiliation with CSTO does
not impede development of partner relations with NATO.
