    RUSSIAN CONSCRIPT SOLDIERS IN ARMENIA WILL BE REPLACED WITH CONTRACT SERVICEMEN


    Next year, the Defense Ministry plans to man personnel of the 102nd
    military base located in Armenia only with contract servicemen. A
    source in the General Staff reported this. The source said, "The last
    conscript servicemen ill leave the 102nd Russian military base
    stationed in Armenia in spring of 2016." The source states that such
    decision is not associated with murder of the family of six people in
    Gyumri that has been confessed by serviceman of the base Valery
    Permyakov. The 102nd Russian military base is located in Gyumri, 126
    kilometers to the north of Yerevan. The base was created in 1995. The
    102nd base is a part of the united air defense system of the CIS and
    is armed with air defense missile systems S-300V and MiG-29 fighters.
    Personnel of the base consists of about 4,000 people.
