Armenian-Turkish normalization contributes to Armenia-NATO relations, Zbigniew Ribatski executive officer of NATO in the South Caucasus said in Yerevan addressing the 73 NATO PA Rose Roth seminar “Regional processes in the South Caucasus: Challenges, Opportunities and Prospects.”
According to him, Turkey is a member of NATO, and along with the Armenian-Turkish normalization Armenia-NATO ties will also strengthen.
If a country is cooperating with NATO, this does not mean it must necessarily seek to become a member of the North Atlantic Alliance," Ribatski said, adding that NATO has been always open for cooperation.
Since Armenia conducts a balanced foreign policy, the strategic partnership between Armenia and Russia does not interfere with the Alliance’s cooperation with Yerevan, the official said.
He added that efforts are made to restore relations between Russia and NATO.
