The Russian military base in Armenia has enough forces and means at
its disposal to guarantee Armenia's security, said Russian Security
Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev.
"We have visited the Russian military base and we could see that our
servicemen are a reliable shield for Armenia's security. There are
enough forces and means to guarantee Armenia's security," Patrushev
told reporters in Yerevan on Tuesday.
Asked to comment on Russia's sale of arms worth $1 billion rubles
to Azerbaijan, he said, "Russia is abiding by all international
obligations and requirements, and all Russian laws in arms trade."
"Furthermore, it maintains strategic relations with Armenia," he said.
Cooperation between the Russian and Armenian security councils has
reached a high level, Patrushev said. "Our councils are intensively
cooperating under a plan intended for two years and we have instructed
the councils to draft a plan for 2014. In addition to this, military
technical cooperation is rising to a new level," he said.
Armenian National Security Council Secretary Artur Bagdasarian said
five agreements have been signed between the security councils,
"which lays solid groundwork for effective cooperation."
