    Azerbaijan too benefits from the Russian military base in Gyumri,
    Armenia, Vladimir Zharikhin, Deputy Director of the Institute of CIS,
    told Echo of Moscow (Ekho Moskvy).

    According to him, the base prevents the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    from developing into new hostilities.

    In an interview with Echo of Moscow, President of the Academy of
    Geopolitical Problems, Colonel General Leonid Ivashov said that the
    long-term agreement is "a victory of strategic pragmatism of both
    countries."

    He stressed the new agreement seriously reduces the risk of
    Azerbaijan's attempts to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in a
    military way. A diplomatic way must be found for the agreement not
    to affect Russian-Azerbaijani relations.

    On August 20, in Yerevan, The RF and RA Ministers of Defense, Anatoly
    Serdyukov and Seyran Ohanyan, signed a protocol prolonging the
    deployment of Russian military base #102 in Armenia for up to 49 years.
