    Yerevan /Mediamax/. NATO Secretary General's Special Representative
    for Women, Peace and Security Marriet Schuurman has said in Yerevan
    today that the Alliance is going to deepen cooperation with Armenia.

    "I am impressed by how Armenia tries to ensure gender equality on
    political, managerial and civil society levels. I was happy to see
    the cooperation and debate of all the interested structures around
    the topic on how to ensure gender equality especially in peace and
    security issues", said Marriet Schuurman at the Information Center
    on NATO in Armenia today.

    The NATO Secretary General's Special Representative has noted that
    it's her first visit to Armenia and it is aimed at gaining general
    knowledge on Armenia's expertise and challenges in terms of ensuring
    women's engagement in security and peace building.

    "As far as preventing and settling conflicts is concerned, women
    and men should be equally engaged. It's impossible to build peace
    without taking into account the opinion of half of the population",
    noted Marriet Schuurman.

    The Special Representative has held meetings on these topics at the
    Armenian Foreign Ministry and Defense Ministry and has spoken to
    civil society representatives.

    Marriet Schuurman was especially impressed with her meetings with
    female students of the Military Institute after Vazgen Sargsyan and
    female associates of the Armenian Defense Ministry.

    "I am extremely impressed with my meetings with these women. They
    are devoted to security and peace-building both in Armenia and on the
    global scale. We should ensure all the necessary conditions so as these
    women could fully realize their potential", noted Marriet Schuurman.

    The NATO Secretary General's Special Representative has noted that
    the Armenian governmental structures and civil society representatives
    are working in a quite coordinated manner to ensure gender equality.
