NATO Week: Armenia discusses closer partnership with Western alliance under Moscow=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=s close watch

Armenia and NATO have again exchanged their "partnership" credentials this week as events dedicated to their deepening ties were launched in Yerevan on Monday.

Speaking at a seminar held as part of the NATO Week events in the Armenian capital, the NATO Secretary General's Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia James Appathurai described Armenia as an important partner for the military alliance. He especially noted Armenia's considerable contribution to the ISAF operation in Afghanistan.

Appathurai, who was scheduled to meet with senior government officials in Yerevan, said NATO was seeking a deeper involvement in the South Caucasus and would like to step up its cooperation with Armenia. He said the alliance leadership was now considering ways of gaining a "stronger foothold" in the volatile region.
