Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Mirzoyan has stated in an interview with the Russian ITAR-TASS agency that the country is seeking closer relations with the EU and the US to strengthen democracy. He also mentioned that NATO membership is not on the agenda for Armenia, although the country is increasing its cooperation with the organization in its peacekeeping operations and in Kosovo. At the same time, he also noted that “problems in relations with Russia cannot be concealed”, mainly referring to the lack of fulfillment of commitments to Armenia’s territorial integrity by the Russian side.
