YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS: Border is never calm. This is an
expression of a person, who is responsible for the defense of 120 km
section of the Armenian-Turkish border. Commander of Armavir frontier
detachment Alexander Zlobin is presenting the situation in the section
entrusted to him with calmness typical of an experienced border guard.
The commander's confidence, in all appearances, comes from the rich
history of the frontier detachment of Armavir: it was founded still
in 1924 and has given 3 soviet heroes throughout its history.
Today, too, our border guards continue the traditions of their hero
grandfathers. From 1943 up today about 900 persons, trespassed the
border of the above-mentioned section, have been arrested: local
residents show support to the border gourds in this issue.
"Our main goal is to secure the protection of interests of Armenia and
Russia in the sphere of border defence," said Alexander Zobkin. He
informed that in Armavir section of Armenian-Turkish border during
this year has been recorded one case of border infringement and three
cases of border regime violation. To fulfill their tasks Russian
border guards also cooperate with province authorities of Armenia.
Processes of rearrangement and updating are currently underway in
the frontier services of Armenia and Russia. "The staff is being
replenished, and the buildings -- reconstructed," said Zlobin.
He noted that last year two border turnpikes of the Armenian-Turkish
border were reequipped, and this year -- one. Zlobin also stressed
that they strive to replenish the frontier forces with contractual
servicemen mostly, who are mainly Armenian citizens. "This year's
replenishments will give an opportunity to enhance the border defense
process," he said.
The frontier guards, conscientiously fulfilling their duty, live
with an ordinary life too. Their children attend the nearby school
and kindergarten. The detachment also has its own museum; here the
glorious history of the detachment is presented.
May 28 marks the Border Guards Day. "Armenpress" news agency staff
joins all congratulations.
