Armenia is the only country that can station troops in NKR

PanARMENIAN.Net - Media reports on Armenia’s possible to consent to stationing NATO troops in Karabakh conflict zone are a proof of incompetence, or, at best, of simplistic idea of the situation, according to Armenian Atlantic Association CEO Tevan Poghosyan.

“Stationing of NATO troops in Karabakh is impossible for two reasons. First, Armenia has to address Alliance leadership in reference to the issue. The request should be further discussed by 27 NATO members, prior to passing a decision. Second, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said NATO will not interfere in Karabakh conflict settlement process,” he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

“Armenia is the only country that can station its troops in NKR. However, there’s no need in that, with NKR defense army doing an excellent job protecting the borders of the republic,” Poghosyan emphasized.

Some media sources circulated information on Armenian ruling coalition agreeing to stationing NATO military forces in Karabakh conflict zone.
