Although the Alliance has never put pressure on the conflict sides, we do not exclude that as a result of the co-operation of the South Caucasus countries with NATO, the conflict sides may achieve the settlement of the conflict sooner, he said.

We gradually hold consultations with the representatives of the Alliance and Armenia is consistent in its steps to expand co-operation with NATO, he added.
