Yerevan /Mediamax/. First Deputy Minister of Defense of Armenia
Davit Tonoyan said today that Armenia's possible membership to any
commercial-economic alliances won't limit military and security
cooperation with the U.S. or other states.
Davit Tonoyan said this after the end of Armenia-U.S. bilateral
defense consultations held in Yerevan today, Mediamax reports.
"Vice versa, our defense cooperation with the U.S. will develop
even faster. There are no restrictions and there may not be any. The
cooperation is realized within our priorities and it's our sovereign
right to set them", said the Deputy Minister.
Evelyn Farkas, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, who arrived
in Yerevan to take part in the defense consultations recalled touching
upon Russia's possible impact on U.S.-Armenia cooperation that the
U.S. also cooperates with Russia in defense sphere and the current
political discords on other issues between the two states don't affect
discussions in the defense sphere.
