MOSCOW, February 1 (RIA Novosti) - Russia and Armenia are to establish
joint defense enterprises under the Collective Security Treaty
Organization (CSTO), the post-Soviet security body's head Nikolai
Bordyuzha said on Friday, following a visit to Yerevan in late
January.
"The key purpose of my trip there, with a big delegation of Russian
arms-industry sector bosses, was to work out measures to integrate
Armenia's military-industrial enterprises with similar activities in
Russia," Bordyuzha said.
"These include establishment of armament repair service centers, joint
armor enterprises and air-asset repair enterprises," he said. "Some
eight or nine military-industrial joint ventures are to be created,"
Bordyuzha added.
The CSTO's current members are Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan. In December 2012, Uzbekistan
officially suspended its CSTO membership.
