Russian military base in Armenia to be staffed by contract servicemen
only starting from 2016

Russia's 102nd military base in Armenia will be staffed exclusively by
personnel serving under contracts starting from the spring of 2016, a
source in the Russian Armed Forces' General Staff told Interfax-AVN on
Tuesday.
"The last conscripts will leave the 102nd Russian military base
stationed in Armenia in the spring of 2016," he said.
This decision was adopted last year and was not prompted by the
suspected involvement of Russian base serviceman Valery Permyakov in
the January 12 murder of six members of one family in the northern
Armenian city of Gyumri, near which the base is located, the source
said.
Russia's 201st military base stationed in Tajikistan has been staffed
exclusively by personnel serving under contracts since December 2014,
he said.
The psychological and mental health of soldiers who may serve at
Russian military bases in foreign countries will be thoroughly
examined at collecting stations in Russia's military districts, the
source said.
Russia's 102nd Alexander Nevsky Order military base of the Southern
Military District is stationed at two military garrisons. Some 2,500
conscripts arrived at the base as part of a routine rotation in
December 2014.
The 201st military base is Russia's largest military facility outside
its territory. It has about 6,000 personnel accommodated near
Dushanbe, Kurgan-Tyube and Kulyab. Under an agreement signed in
October 2012, the 201st military base will remain in Tajikistan until
2042 at the earliest.
