    Russian, Armenian defence ministers to discuss mil cooperation

    ITAR-TASS, Russia
    May 20 2004

    YEREVAN, May 20 (Itar-Tass) - Russian Acting Defence Minister Sergei
    Ivanov's two-day working visit to Armenia that will begin on Thursday
    will focus on Russian-Armenian military cooperation issues.

    Ivanov will have talks with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisyan,
    and they are expected to sign joint documents.

    The two ministers will discuss developing Russian-Armenian relations in
    the area of military and technical military cooperation and exchange
    views on military issues, including ensuring regional security,
    the Armenian Defence Ministry's press secretary Seiran Shakhsuvaryan
    told Itar-Tass.

    Russian-Armenian military cooperation is considered the most advanced
    area in bilateral relations.

    The Russian military base in Armenia is believed to be one of the
    most important constituent parts of Armenia's national security.

    The Russian Defence Minister on Friday will chair a meeting of the
    CIS defence minister council.

    Among the main issues on the agenda are development and supporting
    of combat readiness of the CIS united air-defence system.

    The meeting will discuss a draft programme for ensuring comprehensive
    resistance of CIS countries to air attack forces and means.
