ArmInfo.NATO is a platform for influencing other countries where each state can discuss issues of concern with the bloc's member countries, NATO Liaison Officer in South Caucasus William Lahue said in Yerevan, Armenia on Saturday, June 10.
According to him, discussions are more efficient in NATO than in other structures as the bloc does its best to satisfy all the parties as much as possible.
Armenia, too, can use this platform to discuss certain issues of concern, he said, adding that Yerevan usually dwells upon problems connected with Azerbaijan or Turkey.
"Whenever Armenia comes to NATO, it tries to convince the bloc of its own viewpoints, so this is a very important platform for the country," Lahue said.
"The same is true about Azerbaijan."
He added also that NATO is absolutely unconcerned in respect to the issue of cooperation of Armenia with its allies and neighbors. " It does not matter for NATO what relations do you have with Iran or with other states. You are an independent state, setting own priorities in an independent manner."
