YEREVAN. – The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) sees no obstacle before Armenia’s cooperation with the Treaty and Russia alike, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen stated Thursday, while addressing the students and faculty at Yerevan State University.    

“We likewise are cooperating with Russia, and this enables to better secure the continent’s stability,” Rasmussen assured. 

In NATO Secretary General’s view, Armenia and the region must ultimately use their great potential.

“And we know what obstructs all this: Closed borders, mined fields, closed air spaces, and the unstable situation in the region,” he noted.

Rasmussen also stated that the countries in this region have the most obstacles with their neighbors than any other region in the world. 

“We need to build new relations with the countries in the region. And with respect to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, NATO has two points: First, the conflict shall not be resolved through military means. Second, the conflict shall solely be resolved through dialogue,” NATO Secretary General maintained.
