Armenian-Turkish reconciliation to have positive impact on RA-NATO relations
Normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations is not linked to RA-NATO ties. However, reconciliation between the two countries will have positive impact on the Alliance's relationship with Armenia, according to Lorenz Meyer‐Minneman of NATO Euro‐Atlantic Integration and Partnership Directorate.

He said that Armenia and NATO established close ties. "At that, parallels should not be drawn between normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, Armenia's membership in CSTO and Armenia-NATO ties," he said.
