    RUSSIA REMAINS STRATEGIC ALLY OF ARMENIA: ARMENIAN DEFENSE MINISTER


    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 30. ARMINFO. Russia remains strategic ally of
    Armenia, Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan told the Armenian
    Public Television.

    He said that all the talks that Armenia turns away from Russia, tries
    to join NATO etc,, do not correspond to reality. Such rumors are
    spread by political rivals of Armenia. Armenia's cooperation with the
    USA does not develop at the expense of Armenia's relations with
    Russia. If Armenia aspired to withdraw from CST and join NATO, it
    would be worthwhile to change its priorities. But, as Armenia remains
    in CST, it signed a voluminous Agreement with Russia, so the latter
    remains the main strategic ally of Armenia. Armenia's relations with
    the USA and NATO develop paralleled, which means that Armenia uses the
    existing opportunities, the minister said. As regards the prospects of
    expansion of the Armenian-Russian cooperation, he said that due to the
    50 agreements signed, a serious contractual base is created for
    development of these relations. Military cooperation is infinite and
    multi-dimensional, that is why it will further develop. In particular,
    beginning from Jan 1, 2005, direct Agreements with Russian enterprises
    on security of arms and ammunition for Armenia could be signed, which
    is beneficial, of course, the minister said.
