Mills as saying. “It is important for Armenia to make its own decision as to whom it wants to cooperate with in security and defense sectors.” According to Mills, Yerevan’s political and military ties with Moscow are no obstacle to its cooperation with the U.S. Mills, British ambassador Judith Margaret Farnworth and minister of emergency situations Davit Tonoyan were participating in military drills, held by the armies of the three countries.
