Moscow, 16 August: Troops from the Russian military base in Armenia

Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) this September, the
Southern Military District said in a statement obtained by
Interfax-AVN on Thursday [16 August].
"Very soon the personnel, the weapons and the military hardware to be
involved in the exercise will perform a 100-kilometre combined march
from the permanent base to the Marshal Bagramyan training range in

The exercise will involve over 100 troops and about 30 pieces of
combat and special equipment from the Russian base.
"The main theme of the exercise will be joint efforts by a joint group
of troops from the CSTO member-states to counter a simulated enemy's
attack and subsequent counteroffensive," the press release said.
