History

See main article: Armenia–NATO relations. Armenia has maintained formal relations with NATO since 1992. Since then, Armenia has pursued developing closer Euro-Atlantic ties with the member states of NATO. In 2004, the Government of Armenia established a diplomatic mission to NATO, based in Brussels.[3] The Mission of Armenia to NATO was established to further facilitate Armenia–NATO relations. Armenia is a member of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, the Partnership for Peace programme, and maintains an Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) with NATO.[4]

During a meeting with the Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg, former Ambassador Gagik Hovhannisyan stated that Armenia is ready to continue developing close cooperation and partnership with NATO members.[5]

Ambassador Arman Israelyan has stated, "Integration into European structures and development of relations with NATO is a priority of Armenia's foreign policy" and, "the final goal of reforms we are carrying out with the Alliance's help is to bring the Armenian army into line with NATO standards."[6]
