    YEREVAN

    The CIS Unified Air Defence System operates efficiently and has all
    possibilities to fulfil the tasks it has been given, Armenian Defence
    Minister Serzh Sarkisyan said at a meeting with a group of Russian
    journalists in Yerevan today. Sarkisyan voiced his wish that "this
    system should be equipped with modern armaments".

    "Armenia's air defence troops are efficient, and they showed this
    during joint military exercises at Russia's Ashuluk training ground,"
    Sarkisyan said.

    "The main guarantor of Armenia's security" are the republic's armed
    forces which have everything necessary to protect the country's
    borders, he said. The armed forces are based on motorized infantry
    units headed by regular officers with great war experience. "The
    Russian military base is an important component of Armenia's national
    security," Sarkisyan said.
