According to the ministry, NATO representatives were shown the in-service military equipment and received in-depth information about the unit’s tactical roles and technical capabilities. The briefing highlighted how the equipment supports the unit’s readiness, mobility, and interoperability within the broader alliance framework.
The participants engaged in discussions about the future of bilateral cooperation, exploring avenues for closer alignment on defense planning, joint exercises, and information sharing that could reinforce regional security in the South Caucasus.
In Yerevan, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vahe Gevorkyan met with Javier Kolomina, the NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, to address concerns over the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. The dialogue touched on ongoing cooperation between Armenia and NATO and broader security challenges affecting the region.
Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan commented on the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, attributing the distress to the Lachin corridor closure and interruptions to gas supplies. His remarks underscored calls for uninterrupted humanitarian access and adherence to international norms governing civilian welfare in conflict zones.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev reiterated that Yerevan supports unfounded claims about the Lachin corridor, stressing the importance of factual reporting and constructive dialogue to resolve transport and energy connectivity issues in the region.
