ArmInfo. The recent Armenian-Russian arrangements have implanted
serious doubts in Azerbaijan, Gagik Haroutunyan, Director of Noravank
Fund of Science and Education, told media on Friday.
Generally, he said, the changes made to the Armenian-Russian Treaty,
specifically, the Protocol prolonging deployment of the military base
in Gyumri and the framework agreement of military-technical
cooperation have become a reason of serious mistrust of Azerbaijani
people in their authorities determining the foreign political course
of Azerbaijan. "Some influential representatives of the Azerbaijani
elite have already highlighted the failure of Azerbaijan's policy in
the relations with Russia and Iran. As for Mass Media, they are
supervised by the state and more restrained," he said.
President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev arrived in Armenia on a state
visit on August 19. Yet on August 14 Medvedev gave directions to sign
the Protocol between Russia and Armenia to amend the bilateral treaty
on the Russian military base in Armenia dated 1995. The protocol on
prolongation on deployment of the military base of Russia in Gyumri
and framework agreement on military and technical cooperation was
signed on August 20 during the talks of the two presidents. Amendments
to the treaty will extend it from 25 to 49 years starting 1995. The
Russian 102nd Military Base in Gyumri, Armenia, is part of the
Transcaucasian Group of Forces. The military base is part of a joint
air defense system of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS),
which was deployed in Armenia in 1995. There are nearly 5,000 Russian
soldiers, MiG-29s and S-300 air defense systems in the base.
