Yerevan /Mediamax/. First Deputy Minister of Defense of Armenia Davit Tonoyan said today that Armenia's possible membership to any commercial-economic alliances won't limit military and security cooperation with the U.S. or other states.

Davit Tonoyan said this after the end of Armenia-U.S. bilateral defense consultations held in Yerevan today, Mediamax reports.

"Vice versa, our defense cooperation with the U.S. will develop even faster. There are no restrictions and there may not be any. The cooperation is realized within our priorities and it's our sovereign right to set them", said the Deputy Minister.

Evelyn Farkas, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, who arrived in Yerevan to take part in the defense consultations recalled touching upon Russia's possible impact on U.S.-Armenia cooperation that the U.S. also cooperates with Russia in defense sphere and the current political discords on other issues between the two states don't affect discussions in the defense sphere.
