On February 13 the RA National Assembly Speaker Samvel Nikoyan received
James Appathurai, Special Representative of the Secretary General of
NATO in Caucasus and Central Asia.
First the NA Speaker welcomed James Appathurai's already second visit
to Armenia, then touched upon positively developing Armenia-NATO
cooperation. He emphasized the works being done within the framework
of Armenia-NATO Individual Partnership Action Plan, the cooperation
of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and the RA National Assembly,
the participation of Armenia's Armed Forces in the NATO peacekeeping
missions. "It's very important that Armenia not only make use of
the security international system, but also it actively take part in
those processes. I think that here the usefulness is bilateral," Mr
Nikoyan noted. The NA Speaker presented the works, done in the Army
in the direction of strengthening the legal bases, public oversight
and improvement of public awareness processes. With this respect he
stressed the cooperation with the NGOs.
Congratulating Samvel Nikoyan on the occasion of being elected
NA Speaker and his birthday James Appathurai has noted that the
NATO greatly emphasizes the relations with Armenia, which, to his
assessment, develop well and have intention of further deepening. He
thanked Armenia for participating at best in the NATO peacekeeping
forces. "Armenia being a small country has a big contribution in the
international peacekeeping missions. I have been myself to Afghanistan,
and I wish to convey my gratitude for higher service of the Armenian
Armed forces," James Appathurai noted. He highlighted the role of
the NA in the spheres of oversight and public awareness, as well as
the cooperation within the NATO PA. Mr Appathurai said that in future
the NATO delegation would arrive in Armenia to specify the upcoming
programs with relevant departments.
In the course of the meeting other issues of bilateral interest were
also discussed. The further deepening and enforcement of cooperation
was mutually stressed.
