  Tensions in Russia-NATO relations to affect ArmeniaSeptember 1, 2008 - 13:58 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Tensions in Russia-NATO relations will inevitably affect Armenia, specifically the IPAP implementation, Executive Director of the Armenian Atlantic Association Tevan Poghosyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "Realization of reforms provided by the IPAP will be decelerated," he said. Russia has always been jealous about the NATO-Armenia cooperation, according to him. "At the same time, NATO's presence in the Black Sea is not a novelty. Turkey is a mature NATO member state. Bulgaria and Romania also joined the Alliance, whose presence will not provoke incidents. I don't think NATO wants a confrontation. It will act as mechanism of restraint and stabilization," Poghosyan said.   Top stories Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution.
