Yerevan. (Interfax-AVN) - Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said
there are no plans to deploy more troops to his country's military base
in Armenia, but said it would be provided with more advanced weapons.
"We have no plans to add more servicemen to the troops stationed at
Russia's 102nd Military Base in Armenia. Its numerical strength is
sufficient and optimal," Ivanov told a news conference in Yerevan
on Thursday.
"Another matter is that we need to provide our servicemen with
state-of-the-art weapons and military hardware. We take these plans
seriously," the defense minister said.
