    POLITICAL SCIENTIST: 102ND RUSSIAN MILITARY BASE IN ARMENIA EXPERIENCES NO PROBLEMS WITH COMMUNICATIONS

    by Marianna Lazarian

    Tuesday, October 7, 14:24

    "Nothing conceptually bad or difficult is happening for the 102nd
    Russian military base in Armenia," Deputy Director of the Caucasus
    Institute, political scientist Sergey Minasyan told ArmInfo, Tuesday.

    "The situation with communications was catastrophic for the 102nd
    military base in the course of the Russian-Georgian war in August
    2008. One could hardly imagine a worse situation, but the base kept
    operating," Minasyan said.

    In this light, he said, the base receives supplies not only via Georgia
    or Turkey, but also via Azerbaijan and Iran. Minasyan could not say,
    however, why the Russian media reported such problems. "It could be
    connected with the 'competence' of a particular journalist or with the
    signals one of the power branches in Russia sought to give to Georgia,
    not Armenia, of course," he said.

    Earlier on Tuesday, the 102nd Russian military base in Armenia occurred
    in air blockade after Georgia and Turkey closed their air space
    for Russia's military and transport aircrafts, a Russian newspaper
    Argumenti Nedeli writed. The paper writes that the base in Armenia
    (Yerevan and Gyumri garrisons) does not need provisions or uniform
    so far. However, the Command is concerned that the ammunition may
    not be sufficient for intensive training, as Defense Minister S.

    Shoygu requires. Despite the importance of the Armenian military
    outpost, the issue of the air blockade has faced certain 'conspiracy
    of silence.' Nevertheless, the Russian Foreign Ministry representative
    told the newspaper that they are "informed of the problem" and "are
    settling the issue, but the situation is hard to solve".
