    The Commonwealth of Independent States' (CIS) Joint Air Defence
    System is capable of fulfilling any task, Armenian Defence Minister
    Serzh Sarkisyan said at the meeting with Russian journalists on
    Saturday. He said he would like that system to be armed with
    state-of-the-art combat means.

    The minister said, "Armenian air defence troops are mission capable
    and they have proved it in the course of joint exercises at the
    Russian air defence test range Ashuluk."

    "The armed forces are the main guarantor of the country's security.
    They have all the necessary means to protect the borders of their
    homeland," the minister said. Mechanised units led by career officers
    with vast combat experience form the bulk of the Armenian armed
    forces, the minister said.

    "The important component of Armenia's national security is the
    Russian military base," he stressed.
