YEREVAN. – NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative James Appathurai believes the Armenian authorities will manage to find the right decision in connection with Gyumri tragedy.

Asked about solution to similar problems in NATO member states, Appathurai said: “I think that it will not be reasonable to try to look for similar cases among NATO member states. But I want to say two things: first, it is a terrible human tragedy, and secondly we are confident that the Armenian authorities will manage to find the right decision in a complicated situation”.
