ArmInfo. The evolving security environment has had a significant impact on NATO's partners in the South Caucasus. This is stated in NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's annual report for 2023, presented on March 14 at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
The report notes that through the Secretary General's Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, Javier Colomina, NATO continued active engagement with Heads of State and Ministers, diplomats and civil society from across Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
"NATO expressed support for the territorial integrity, political independence and sovereignty of each of these three partners. NATO has encouraged both Armenia and Azerbaijan to engage constructively through the various formats in place and stressed the importance of addressing humanitarian issues. NATO has also sought to support stronger partnership relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan through the development of Individually Tailored Partnership Programmes," the report reads.
It is emphasized that NATO's engagement with the three countries of the South Caucasus is supported by the NATO Liaison Office in Tbilisi, Georgia.
