YEREVAN, April 1. /ARKA/. Joining NATO is not on Armenia's agenda, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said in an interview with Argentine TV channel Todo Noticias.

"We cooperate with NATO, we have participated in NATO-led peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan, we have increased our presence in Kosovo, this is a form of cooperation If we talk about the intention to join NATO, then no, we have no intention to join NATO. This issue is not on Armenia's agenda today," Mirzoyan noted.

Relations between Armenia and NATO began in 1992. After Armenia joined the Partnership for Peace program in 1994, the cooperation was deepened and expanded. At the end of 2005, Armenia and NATO agreed on the first Individual Partnership Action Plan. Since 2002, Armenia has been involved in a planning and analysis process that helps develop the capabilities of individual units of the Armenian armed forces.
