Rasmussen welcomed the President of Armenia Mr. Serzh Sargsyan on 6
March 2012 at the NATO Headquarters and discussed with him issues
related to Armenia's partnership with the Alliance. The Secretary
General also thanked President Sargsyan for Armenia's contribution
to the Alliance's ISAF operation in Afghanistan.
"NATO and Armenia share many political priorities and security
interests", the Secretary General said. "And we have built up our
cooperation and dialogue over many years. Our relationship contributes
to regional security and Euro-Atlantic security. And we want to take
it forward in that way".
During the visit to NATO Headquarters President Sargsyan also addressed
the North Atlantic Council and discussed with Allies preparations
for the Chicago Summit.
"Let me stress that the South Caucasus region is important for our
Alliance, and Armenia is an important partner for NATO", the Secretary
General said. "At Chicago, we will review the progress of transition
in Afghanistan and take decisions on our commitment beyond 2014,
once the Afghan forces have full security responsibility throughout
the country. As an ISAF contributor, Armenia will participate closely
in the decision-shaping process."
