on Monday.
Minister Ohanian pointed out dynamically developing bilateral military
cooperation, which will be continued next year.
Mr Mabus pointed out the importance of close cooperation with Armenia,
top U.S. military officials' visits to the country being evidence
thereof.
Following the meeting, Minister Obanian and Secretary Mabus held a
press briefing.
Minister Ohanian thanked Mr Mabus for visiting Armenia. "High-ranking
officials paid mutual visits and held meetings... We have determined
two directions of cooperation. The first is development of the
peacekeeping potential, which implies expansion of cooperation in
military medicine and humanitarian demining. The second is defense
reforms, particularly reforms in military education, improvement of
human resource management," Minister Ohanian said.
Mr Mabus thanked Minister Ohanian for a warm reception. The U.S.
attaches importance to close cooperation.
He commended Armenian peace-keepers' involvement in Kosovo and
Afghanistan. He noted the Armenian defense ministers' initiatives to
implement reforms in Armenia's armed forces. The U.S. Navy cooperated
with Armenia's Ministry of Defense in military planning. Military
exercises have been organized in recent two years. Further work will
be carried out in this field, Mr Mabus said.
