US embassy cable - 05YEREVAN584

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (SBU) In a March 31 speech to NATO's Atlantic Policy 
Advisory Group meeting in Yerevan, Armenian Foreign 
Minister Vartan Oskanian said that Armenia's 
"commitment to NATO is...irreversible and desirable." 
Oskanian stated that security is Armenia's number one 
priority and argued that cooperation with NATO 
complements current security arrangements. 
 
2. (SBU) Oskanian stated that the first draft of 
Armenia's Individual Partnership Plan Presentation 
Document is on his desk and should be ready for 
submission to NATO in mid-April.  The NATO desk chief 
told us, however, that mid-May is more likely as the 
draft still lacks the final approval of the Minister of 
Defense and the President.  Oskanian praised the 
document as a product of considerable interagency 
effort.
