NATO OFFICIAL REVIEWS PREPARATIONS FOR MILITARY EXERCISES IN ARMENIA
Arriving in Yerevan on 29 April, NATO's Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Admiral Rainer Feist of Germany, met with Armenian President Robert Kocharian and Defense Minister Sarkisian to review final preparations for NATO military exercises scheduled for next month in Armenia, according to RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau. The NATO exercises, named "Cooperative Best Effort 2003," will involve units from 17 countries in a 10-day military exercise held under the NATO Partnership for Peace program. Armenian Army Chief of Staff General Mikael Harutiunian confirmed that a detachment of Turkish troops will also be participating in the NATO exercises, although they will be limited to observer status.
