"Armenia is actively cooperating with NATO in all spheres. We are
successfully implementing reforms in the fields of defense, security
and emergency situations," Armenian President declared at a joint
press conference with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
According to President Sargsyan, the Armenia-NATO Individual
Partnership Action Plan remains the cornerstone of our allied
relations.
"We are glad that the NATO and its Secretary General appreciate
Armenia's efforts towards ensuring international peace and security.
We realize that only with combined efforts it is possible to withstand
the challenges and threats. For that purpose we tripled the number
of Armenian troops in Afghanistan," the President stated.
Touching upon the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, President Sargsyan said:
"Azerbaijan turns down any confidence-building measure, be it targeted
at promoting regional cooperation or relieving the tension at the
line of contact. Unfortunately, Azerbaijan refuses to withdraw the
snipers from the line of contact and stands against investigation of
incidents. Furthermore, Azerbaijan's war-mongering never stops. The
Azerbaijani leadership continues inciting hatred towards Armenians.
Azerbaijan's President declared just a few days ago that world-spread
Armenians were number one enemy of Azerbaijanis. This fact should
be properly evaluated by the international community," President
Sargsyan stated.
"We agreed with the Secretary General that the conflict should be
solved exceptionally through peaceful means and negotiations within
the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group. We are confident that the
final resolution of the Karabakh conflict is possible only on the
basis of respect for the right of peoples to self-determination and
security guarantees," Serzh Sargsyan stated. He reiterated Armenia's
willingness to continue the mutually beneficial cooperation with the
North Atlantic Council.
