YEREVAN, November 21 (RIA Novosti) - Armenia will allocate additional
space at the Erebuni air base to host a Russian helicopter squadron
being formed to strengthen the Russian air contingent in the former
Soviet state, Armenia's deputy defense minister said Thursday.
Russia's 3624th Air Base at Erebuni Airport in Yerevan currently
hosts at least 16 MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter jets operating under air
defense agreements concluded between the members of the Commonwealth
of Independent States.
"The Russian base will be given additional space to host helicopter
pads, administrative buildings and fuel-storage facilities," Ara
Nazaryan said at a government meeting.
Nazaryan said the Russian squadron at the Erebuni base would comprise
18 helicopters, but did not specify what type. He also said the
squadron was expected to arrive by the end of this month.
The Erebuni air base is part of Russia's 102nd military base located
in Gyumri, near Armenia's border with Turkey.
The 102nd base has been deployed in Gyumri since 1995 under a
bilateral treaty that was extended in 2010 from 25 to 49 years,
ensuring a Russian military presence in Armenia through 2044.
Artur Bagdasaryan, head of Armenia's National Security Council, said
in June that Russian military bases in Armenia will be modernized
and upgraded over the next few years.
