Armenia reached real progress in IPAP realization
The idea of NATO-Armenia Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) aims at conducting NATO's policy in the region. From the other hand, we assist the country in democratic and military reforms, Deputy Secretary-General of NATO Jean Fournet told in the interview to PanARMENIAN.Net. He said, from the political viewpoint it aims at establishment of democratic civil society, rule of law, reforms in the sphere of state governance.

"From the military point of view our goal is to reform the army bringing it closer to international standards and provide security systems. In this regard I want to underline, that Armenia has reached real progress in realization of IPAP. Generally the leadership of the Alliance is satisfied with the already reached results and interim reports of NATO experts, who visit the country, proof it. Naturally, it is impossible to realize the whole volume of the program during several months, but I am sure within the next few years all points fixed in IPAP will be fulfilled," the NATO Deputy Secretary General stated.
