    Russia's strength being tested in Caucasus - Mironov

    The Caucasus is a key region for Russia at present. It is where
    Russia's strength is being tested, Federation Council Chairman Sergei
    Mironov said at a Friday meeting with the Russian regiment stationed
    in Yerevan.

    "Not only Russia but also all countries of this unique land of plenty
    need stability in the Caucasus and Transcaucasia," he said.

    Mironov called on servicemen "to do their best to prevent the
    spreading of international terrorism in the Caucasus and thwart plans
    of extremists seeking regional destabilization." "Russia thinks that
    cooperation must develop in the spirit of historical and spiritual
    relations between the peoples of Russia and Armenia and in strict
    compliance with international legal norms and principles of the United
    Nations and international organizations whose members we are," Mironov
    said.
