Azerbaijani media, citing the announcement of special envoy of the alliance secretary general for South Caucasus and Central Asian countries James Apparthurai, reports that NATO wants to see the improvement of ties between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Apparthurai mentioned NATO is not willing to insist its presence in the region but wants to enlarge the involvement which will be beneficial for the countries in South Caucasus and soon Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan will have the new packet of offers from NATO. On the one hand, the special envoy also reminded Armenia’s participation in.
As a conclusion, Apaturay stated NATO would encourage to continue the bilateral relations in 2014 as well. “When the matter comes to security, it is important that both countries return to the correct way. The meeting of the foreign ministers was held in Paris recently and this is a good sign. But the meeting is not a progress but only a step on its way. As for NATO, we want to see the ties improve” stressed Apparthurai.
