26.05.2005 04:31
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Speaking of the opportunity of sending part of Russian
military bases to Armenia is premature, as no specific decisions over that
are made yet,' stated Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian. At that, in
his words such a decision can be passed only by Armenia and Russia. `Both
countries are guided by two basic documents - the bilateral agreement on
military cooperation and location of Russian military bases in Armenia, as
well as the circumstances over the shares provided by the Treaty on
Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. If our decisions keep within the frames
of these two documents, no one will be entitled to interfere with the
affairs of Armenia and Russia,' the Armenian FM noted. It should be noted
that Russia and Georgia have virtually come to an agreement over the fate of
the two Russian military bases, located in Akhalkalaki (Samtskhe-Javakheti -
editor) and Batumi. As it was reported yesterday, the 102nd base from the
regions of Samtskhe-Javakheti populated by Armenians will be withdrawn
first. As of the reports that part of the bases can be transferred to
Armenia, Baku has expressed official protest against it, Regnum news agency
reported.
