ARMENIA AND RUSSIA TO SET MILITARY COOPERATION PROGRAM FOR NEAR FUTURE IN FEBRUARY
YEREVAN, January 29. /ARKA/. In February Armenia and Russia are to
establish a practical cooperation program for the near future, for
five years at minimum, Russian minister of defence Sergey Shoygu said
in Yerevan Tuesday, as quoted by Novosti-Armenia Agency.
"We have discussed issues of military and defence technology
cooperation and further development of our strategic partnership",
Shoygu told a press conference after his meeting with the Armenian
counterpart Ohanyan. Shoygu reminded that it is not the first meeting
of the two ministers: the first two ones were held in late 2012.
"We keep meeting each other, and we do not only exchange views,
but make decisions as well", the Russian minister said. The issues
discussed in the first two meetings at the end of 2012 were solved
already in January this year, he said.
Shoygu informed that some international and regional security issues
were discussed and a number of additional decisions were made during
this meeting.
The Russian minister pointed out that the leaders of the Collective
Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) are now in Armenia to sign
documents related to some additional elements for ensuring stability
in the region and to CSTO's activities in general.
Shoygu congratulated the Armenian people on the 21st anniversary of
the Armenian Army celebrated yesterday. -0-
