Complementarity in the foreign policy of Armenia does not mean equal
and similar relations with all partners, head of the Institute for
National Strategic Studies Hayk Kotanjian said.
Hayk Kotanjian delivered a speech at the session of the Integration
Club under the chairmanship of the Speaker of the Federation Council
of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Valentina Matvienko
at MGIMO University on Monday.
He noted that Russia is the strategic ally and number one security
partner for Armenia.
"Armenia successfully complements the bilateral security strategic
alliance with Russia with the strategic partnership with her and
other states within the framework of the CSTO," he said.
At the same time Armenia also keeps productive contacts with the
Euro-Atlantic power centers such as the United States, NATO and the EU.
"Since 2005, Armenia has effectively implemented the programs within
the scope of NATO's Individual Partnership Action Plan aimed at
promoting the defense security reforms. My nation has also been
enriching the experience of participation in the international
security system through peacekeeping operations in Iraq, Kosovo,
and currently in Afghanistan."
