Lithuania to share defense reform experience with Armenia![]() June 13, 2011 - 15:57 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Lithuania is ready to share its experience in defense reform with Armenia, Lithuanian ambassador to RA stated. “One does not exclude the other,” Giedrius Apuokas told journalists in Yerevan when commenting on possible scenarios of Armenia-NATO cooperation development, considering Armenia’s CSTO membership. “NATO accession hasn't been Armenia's goal; NATO, in turn, does not make a point of cooperating with member states only. Thus, nothing prevents intensification of NATO-Armenia ties,” amb. Apuokas said. Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution. President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova. Partner news |
