Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said that his country cooperates with NATO, but the issue of joining the Alliance "is not on the agenda today." He said this in an interview with Todo Noticias.


"We already cooperate with NATO, we participate in peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan, we have increased our presence in Kosovo, this is a form of cooperation. If you mean the intention to join NATO, then no, this is not on Armenia's agenda today," Mirzoyan said in response to a question about Armenia's possible rapprochement with NATO.


At the same time, the Armenian Foreign Minister noted that his country does have "European aspirations."


"In the case of the EU, I can say that Armenians do have European aspirations, and I would like to quote the words of the Prime Minister, which he said recently during his speech in the European Parliament. He said that "Armenia is ready to get closer to the EU as much as the EU considers it possible" and is ready to get closer to Armenia," he added.
