A good signal for all sides, is also that Armenia can be a reliable partner of NATO and a full-fledged member of the CSTO at the same time, he added.

Armenia can contribute to NATO operations in Afghanistan and Kosovo, as well as participate in the military activities of the CSTO. The Alliance considers this an important message that cooperation is possible, Appathurai added.
