Jean-Francious Bureau: partner country decides on NATO membership bid

It’s up to the partner country to decide on NATO membership bid, NATO Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy Jean-Francious Bureau said when commenting on the possibility of Armenia’s membership in NATO.

“The NATO is interested in raising public awareness of Armenian citizens about the Alliance’s activity, as Armenia participates in NATO’s peacekeeping missions in Kosovo and Afghanistan,” he said.

Mr. Bureau also added that conduction of NATO weeks helps Armenia get closer to the Alliance.
