Polish Ambassador to Armenia:

The military cooperation between Armenia and Poland has become sustainable since Defense Minister of Armenia visited Poland in December 2009, Polish Ambassador to Armenia Zdzislaw Raczynski said in a press conference, on Monday.

He said that the two parties conduct a political dialogue, discuss defense reforms, in particular, upgrade of army culture. In addition, the diplomat said, the two parties study possible establishment of military- technical cooperation.

It is not a secret, the Ambassador said, that there is Russian and Soviet military hardware in Armenia.

"Therefore, some project of modernization of defensive technologies can be interesting to the Armenian party. I mean the anti-aircraft defense," the Ambassador said.

He said that he is not informed of any specific agreements in the given sphere, but discussion of such a sensitive topic promoted confidence between the parties.

In addition, Ambassador Raczynski said that Poland would like to offer Armenia a possibility of training its officers at Polish universities.

"We think that it is the people and government of Armenia that must select allies and organizations which Armenia sees its security in. It will be in favor of Armenia and will promote mutual understanding between the two countries if Armenian officers study not only at universities of their traditional allies," the Ambassador said.
