HEAD OF RUSSIAN FSB BORDER DEPARTMENT IN ARMENIA PLEASED WITH BORDERGUARDS FINANCING
YEREVAN, December 25. /ARKA/. Viktor Vlasov, the chief of the border
department of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in Armenia
expressed his contentment on Tuesday with borderguards financing
level coming from Russia and Armenia.
He said 80.1% of funds were provided by Russia and 19.9%-- by Armenia
in 2010, 81.2% and 18.8% respectively in 2011, and 82.7% and 17.3%
in 2012.
"As of now Armenian and Russian governments are emphasizing financial
maintenance of the Russian borderguards in Armenia. The Russian side
is fully fulfilling all its commitment," Vlasov said.
Armenia's financing is growing year over year based on the inflation
rate, according to him.
" I can't speak about the lack of funds, as the money we get is enough
for dealing with our issues. The only thing that would be great is
to get more funds for technical re-equipment," he added.
Armenia-Turkey ( 330 km) and Armenia-Iran (45 km) border guard system
has been maintained since the USSR times. The Armenian authorities
consider the presence of the Russian borderguards and the Russian
military base as an important component for the national security.
The border department of the Russian Federal Security Service
in Armenia consists of four border divisions: in Gyumri, Armavir,
Artashat and Meghri, and a separate check point in Yerevan Zvartnots
International Airport. There are nearly 4,500 Russian borderguards
in Armenia. Their maintenance is coordinated by the governments of
the both states almost equally. -0-
