It looked like the prime minister was not fully aware of NATO
The visit of Armenian Prime Minister to Brussels was quite important but it looked like the prime- minister was not fully aware of NATO's capabilities,- mentions Eduard Abrahamyan, Leicester University research fellow in the department of International Relations and Security. "Armenia-NATO relations are very passive today. There are no trends and perspectives of those relations",-underlines analyst.
In this context, Abrahamyan says that for NATO there are no red lines and recalls NATO’s Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller’s words: "It is completely up to Armenia to decide the intensity of relations with NATO".
Areg Galstyan, head of "The Armenian Interest" Research Center notes: "NATO is undoubtedly interested in deepening ties with the Post-Soviet states, including Armenia. But we all know position of the official Moscow. Moscow perceives NATO enlargement with Post-Soviet countries as a threat to the national interests and while talking about Armenia, it doubles",- says Areg Galstyan.
