    Seven Russian officers detained in Armenia on robbery charges

    YEREVAN, Armenia

    Officials have detained seven Russian servicemen stationed at
    Russia's military base in Armenia on suspicion of theft and robbery,
    police said Wednesday.

    The servicemen are believed to have committed numerous acts of
    robbery and theft, including stealing cars, in the past several
    months, a police spokesman said. He said police were preparing to
    deliver the case to military prosecutors.

    The officers were stationed at a Russian military base near the
    northern Armenian city of Gyumri. Russia and Armenia have close
    relations, and the base has been there since the Soviet era.
