    13 Sep 05

    Yerevan, 13 September: The Russian-Armenian annual military
    exercise has finished in Armenia on Tuesday [13 September], Interfax
    correspondent reports.

    The Russian military from the 102nd base in Gyumri and Armenian
    servicemen took part in the exercise involving 1,307 personnel and
    294 vehicles and aircraft, including S-300 air defence systems,
    MiG-27 jet fighters and helicopters.

    The exercise began on 10 September. Armenian President Robert Kocharyan
    and general secretary of the Collective Security Organization Nikolay
    Bordyuzha were observing its final phase.

    The exercise was held for the 10th time. Its scenario was traditional:
    the "aggressor" was attacking Armenia from the direction of Turkey on
    the ground and in the air and advancing into its territory. The Russian
    and Armenian troops destroyed the "aggressor's" reconnaissance groups,
    then its main grouping and forced it to capitulate.
