1. (SBU) In a March 31 speech to NATO's Atlantic Policy
Advisory Group meeting in Yerevan, Armenian Foreign
Minister Vartan Oskanian said that Armenia's
"commitment to NATO is...irreversible and desirable."
Oskanian stated that security is Armenia's number one
priority and argued that cooperation with NATO
complements current security arrangements.


2. (SBU) Oskanian stated that the first draft of
Armenia's Individual Partnership Plan Presentation
Document is on his desk and should be ready for
submission to NATO in mid-April. The NATO desk chief
told us, however, that mid-May is more likely as the
draft still lacks the final approval of the Minister of
Defense and the President. Oskanian praised the
document as a product of considerable interagency
effort.
