YEREVAN.- Armenia has a difficult geopolitical situation. The country has two closed borders, therefore it is necessary to diversify the geopolitical position, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern told reporters on Monday.

Armenia can share western values and gain economic and financial benefits. Within the framework of partnership with NATO, Armenia has an opportunity to participate in the discussion.

The diplomat stressed they are not compelling the partners, they are free to choose the direction for cooperation.

As to Armenia, the U.S. recognize the value of its contribution to spreading NATO security policy.

Peacekeeping efforts and participation of Armenian troops in Kosovo and Afghanistan missions are one of the key directions of Armenia-NATO cooperation.
