Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Yerevan and the CSTO
informal summit marked a new stage in the region. Russia is actively
returning to the South Caucasus, said Hayk Babukhanyan, the chairman
of Constitutional Rights Union Party.
Obviously, a substantial bloc will be formed where Armenia will play
major role, as the Armenian-Turkish border is the border between CSTO
and NATO as well, he added.
On August 19-20, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was on a state visit
to Armenia at the invitation of President Serzh Sargsyan. The sides
signed five agreements, including a protocol prolonging deployment
of the Russian base in Armenia and agreement on construction of a new
nuclear reactor. The Russian President laid a wreath at the Memorial
to Armenian Genocide victims. Dmitry Medvedev also participated in
the opening ceremony of the Hill of Honor, commemorating the Russian
warriors killed in the 19th century.
On August 20, an informal CSTO summit was held in Armenia. Issues
related to formation of crisis response system and situation in
Kyrgyzstan were on the agenda. Moscow will host the next summit
scheduled for December when Belarus will assume its presidency in
the organization.
