Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian
Federation (SCRF), begins a two-day visit to the Republic of Armenia on
Wednesday, during which he will focus on Russia-Armenia cooperation
in the field of security and on interaction between the Security
Councils of Russia and Armenia.
Immediately upon arriving here, Patrushev will meet with Artur
Bagdasaryan, Secretary of the National Security Council of Armenia
(NSCA), a staff member of the NSCA told Itar-Tass. Later on Patrushev
is to travel to Gyumri -- the second-largest city of Armenia (formerly
Leninakan) to inspect the 102nd Russian military base, and a border
guarding detachment of the Russian Federal Security Service, meet
with Russian servicemen and familiarize himself with their everyday
living and military-duty conditions.
The military base and the Gyumri border guarding detachment are
deployed here in accordance with the interstate treaties. The
leadership of Armenia regards the stay of the Russian military base,
with a personnel of about 5,000, and the Russian border guards in
the republic as an important component of national security.
The Secretary of the SCRFwill lay a wreath at the Honour Hill --
a memorial to the Russian army officers who perished during the
Russo-Turkish wars in the 19th century. This memorial complex was
unveiled in 2010 at a ceremony attended by Presidents Dmitry Medvedev
of the Russian Federation and Serge Sargsyan of Armenia. A monument to
the Heroes of Kars was erected in the grounds of the memorial complex,
and the Russian Orthodox chapel of St Michael, the Archistratigus
was restored.
On Thursday Patrushev will visit the Matenadaran, the Yerevan-based
ancient manuscripts research institute. The delegations of the SCRF
and NSCA will hold talks later in the day.
The visit is to end with Patrushev's conversation with Armenian
President Serge Sargsyan.
The two national security councils cooperate not only in a bilateral
format but also within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty
Organization and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
