Yerevan, 26 May: "Turkey has considerably reinforced its state border
with Armenia recently." Maj-Gen Sergey Bondarev, chief of the border

border with Turkey and Iran in compliance with a Russian-Armenian
interstate agreement.
According to Bondarev, "great work is being carried out with Turkey
to protect border posts and settlements".
Russian border guards maintain "contact with their Turkish

interest on plans to violate the state border".

Armenia's border with Turkey is 330km long, and it has been guarded
by three Russian border detachments since Soviet times.
