Armenia and Georgia have held fresh Western-sponsored training exercises aimed at improving their capacity to prevent illegal trafficking of weapons of mass destruction through their territories.
The U.S. Embassy in Yerevan said on Friday that officials from the U.S. departments of state, defense and energy and the European Union participated in the field exercises held from July 9-12.
"The exercises used realistic scenarios to demonstrate and strengthen notification and response procedures in the event of illicit movement of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)-related materials," the embassy said in a statement. The statement did not specify their venue or give other details.
Armenian government bodies dealing with border security and nonproliferation issues issued no statements on the drills.
