Georgia's refusal to allow Russia using its territory for its military
cargo will not change the security environment in Armenia, a Defense
Ministry spokesperson has said.
"I refrain from commenting on the decision by Georgia's parliament. As
what concerns the geography of the military cargo, I would like to
mention that the decision will not lead to any change in Armenia's
security environment," Davit Karapetyan told News.am.
"And in now can it affect the fighting capabilities of Armenia's
Armed Forces," he added.
It comes after the Georgian parliament voted against the extension
of an agreement that allows Russia to use the Georgian territory for
its military cargo.
Russia has a military base in the Armenian city of Gyumri and last
year signed an agreement with Armenia to extend the duration of the
lease of that base.
