On June 14, Defense Minister Serge Sargsian and Foreign Minister Vartan
Oskanian attended the North Atlantic Council (NAC) - Armenia meeting
with the ambassadors of the 26 NATO members.
The meeting agenda was a discussion of Armenia's implementation
of the Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP). This followed
the first assessment meeting by a delegation of NATO international
staff to Armenia in May to evaluate the implementation of the agreement
between NATO and Armenia.
In their reports, the Armenian ministers focused on deepening Armenia's
cooperation with NATO, as well as measures targeted at IPAP implementation.
Following their presentations, Ambassadors of the NAC member states
made statements assessing Armenia's pace and progress in implementing
provisions of the IPAP. In this regard, the Ambassadors attached
importance to the democratization process in Armenia as the groundwork
for security, reforms in the defense sphere, and extension of the
political dialogue with NATO.
