    ARMENIA'S DEFENSE MINISTER DOESN'T RULE OUT THE OPPORTUNITY OF
    HOSTING U.S. BASES IN AZERBAIJAN

    "Azerbaijan is very likely to host U.S. military bases," Armenia's
    Defense Minister Serzhik Sarkisyan said at a press conference. In his
    words, any comments are pointless since this is the mutual issue of
    the U.S. and Azerbaijan.

    "We cannot direct them whether to station military bases on their
    territory or not," the minister said and noted that this process
    would last above 5 or even 10 years. "At the same time, Azerbaijan's
    statements that Russian military bases in Armenia exacerbate tension
    in the entire region are nothing more than words," Armenia's defense
    minister said.
