    YEREVAN, May 20 -- Relations between Russia and Armenia in the sphere
    of defense and security have been developing dynamically and steadily
    and there have been no major problems in military affairs, including
    the operation of the 102nd military base at Gyumri, Russian Defense
    Minister Sergei Ivanov said upon arrival in Armenia on a working visit.

    Russia supplies Armenia with military products at internal prices.

    "These matters have been discussed regularly within the framework of
    the Collective Security Treaty Organization. Armenia is entitled to
    the same opportunities to buy Russian military hardware as the other
    CSTO member-states."

    Later on Thursday Ivanov will hold talks with his Armenian counterpart
    Serge Sarkisian to look into Russian-Armenian cooperation in the
    field of defense, military-technological cooperation and military
    personnel training.

    "Regional security issues and situations in trouble spots will be
    discussed, too," Ivanov said.
