    Armenian defense minister, Russian Ground Forces commander discuss
    military cooperation

    YEREVAN. Apr 1


    Armenian Defense Minister Seiran Oganian met with Russian Ground
    Forces Commander Col. Gen. Alexander Postnikov in Yerevan on Friday to
    discuss bilateral military cooperation, the Armenian Defense Ministry
    told Interfax.

    No other details of the meeting have been disclosed.

    The Armenian city of Gyumri hosts a Russian military base. During
    Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's official visit to Armenia in
    August 2010, Armenia and Russia signed a protocol on extending a
    previous treaty between the two countries on the Russian base's
    presence in Armenia for 49 years.

    The protocol also envisions that, in addition to defending Russia's
    interests, the Russian military base is also responsible for Armenia's
    security along with the Armenian armed forces.
