YEREVAN, JULY 27, ARMENPRESS. Head of the NATO Liaison Office in Georgia William Lahue says NATO-Georgia cooperation can be beneficial for Armenia, reports “Armenpress”.

“We are mainly concentrated on Georgia in the region. We consider Georgia’s democracy as the most important factor for ensuring stability not only in Georgia, but also in the entire region. Armenia can also receive certain benefits from this successful cooperation. In particular, the NATO-Georgia Joint Training and Evaluation Center will enable the Armenian defense units to take part in the works of that center. The first actions include the exercises which are going to be held in November, and the Armenian Armed Forces are also invited”, he said.

William Lahue said currently NATO faces difficult times, since after the cold war it is the first time it faces the problem of making huge changes in the security field.

“For us it is important that our partners perceive our presence as a factor of strengthening and developing the defensive capabilities. The existing issues in the security field have a direct impact both on the member-states, as well as the partners, which perhaps requires a redefinition of our approaches in this field”, William Lahue concluded.
