PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's Defense Ministry commented on the
possibility for deployment of Russia's S-400 missiles in Armenia.
As Press TV reported citing the Turkish daily Hurriyet, Russia is
installing an advanced anti-aircraft missile system in its southern
military region in reaction to Turkey's deployment of a NATO missile
system.
Considering the lack of Russia's land frontier with Turkey, it cannot
be ruled out that the missiles will be deployed in the territory of
Armenia, where Russia's 102nd military base is stationed.
As the Ministry's spokesman Artsrun Hovhannesyan told PanARMENIAN.Net
"noting can be ruled out at the moment. With rearmament of the Russian
military base in progress, renewal of anti-aircraft missile system
might also be expected. However, we're not sure as to the specific
systems to be deployed."
