- Russia and Armenia signed a large package of agreements following
talks between Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev
and the Armenian leadership on Tuesday. The parties signed a treaty
on developing military cooperation, an agreement between the federal
agency on developing the state border of the Russian Federation and
the office of Armenia's Security Council on interaction in information
exchange in developing the infrastructure of the state border and
border passes, a plan of joint actions to develop the Russia-Armenian
humanitarian response center and the protocol of conference between the
geophysical service of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the seismic
protection service of the Armenian emergency situations ministry.
"Russia and Armenia have strategic relations, it's the highest level
of relations," Patrushev said. The security councils of both countries
are working very actively.
"We work according to plans; we draw a cooperation plan every two
years," he reminded.
"The current cooperation plan ends this year, and we issued
instructions to draw the next one for 2014-2015, to address the issues
of interest to us," the Russian Security Council secretary said,
"we set the task for the departments that ensure security in this
or that area to actively and effectively cooperate; we need proper
legislative groundwork for that."
"Departments have had consultations and signed agreements. Military
cooperation is entering a new level. We have strategic relations
with Armenia. During this visit, we visited Russia's 102nd military
base and saw that our military - the army, the borderguards and over
services -- reliably ensure Armenia's safety. Armenia should have no
worries on this account," Patrushev assured noting that "there are
enough assets to provide security here - we've checked it together."
Speaking about supplies of armaments to the neighboring Azerbaijan,
the Russian Security Council secretary stressed that "Russia, when
it sells arms, meets all the existing international obligations and
requirements, as well as all Russian laws."
