    Russia is looking forward to Armenian-Turkish border opening, which
    will give solution to Russia's political-military issues that became
    exacerbated following August events in Georgia, Richard Goragosyan,
    Director of Armenian Centre for Strategic and National Studies, told
    PanARMENIAN.Net. "Russia intends to strengthen its military presence
    on Armenian-Turkish border, especially in Gyumri region. In case of
    opening the border, Moscow will anticipate Ankara's permission for
    using Turkish airbases," the Armenian expert stressed.

    According to Mr. Giragosyan, even if Armenian-Turkish border is opened,
    Russian frontier guards will remain on Armenian territory as security
    guarantors.

    Russian OSCE MG Co-Chair Yuriy Merzlyakov announced in Yerevan
    that rumors on withdrawal of Russian military bases in case of
    Armenian-Turkish border opening are untrue.
