As an organization designed to study Armenia’s security policy from alternative perspectives, AAA wants to clarify all possible aspects of cooperation with NATO, especially in respect with the post-conflict rehabilitation of the region. The Armenian Atlantic Association (AAA) is a non-governmental organization established on October 30, 2001 that aims to foster Armenia’s links with the North Atlan
tic Treaty Organization (NATO) and promote better understanding within Armenia of NATO’s mission and activities in the changing international environment. The Association adheres to the principles of equality, self-governance and public service. The Association does not pursue political aims and is not affiliated with any political group. AAA has established its Youth branch as the Armenian Youth Atlantic Association (AYAA) to introduce Armenian youth with the NATO mission and policy as well as its upcoming goals for establishing strong links between the young leaders from NATO and PfP countries on the bases of mutual confidence and dignity. These actions are aimed at promoting regional cooperation, and facilitating the contact and dialogue between its national affiliates. The main goal of the AYAA is to increase and strengthen the dialogue and understanding between the youth of Armenia and national YATAs. One of the key tasks of the AYAA is to involve young leaders and decision-makers of Armenia in expanding NATO’s new role and mission in the world and the region particularly.
