    RUSSIAN REACTION TO US NAVY SECRETARY'S VISIT

    168 Zham newspaper
    Oct 30 2012
    Armenia

    [Translated from Armenian]

    Commenting on US-Armenian partnership in military production, the
    newspaper wrote in an editorial, "Armenia's cooperation with the
    Americans is probably the only real answer to the Russian claims, as
    well as to the recent official and semi-official remarks from Russia
    on [Russia's role in ensuring] Armenia's security and "preserving
    Armenian identity".

    The newspaper said that the start of US-Armenian cooperation in
    military production was announced after a meeting of the US Secretary
    Mabus and Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan, who described
    that sphere of cooperation as a "new direction". The newspaper also
    noted that "Mabus was on a visit to Armenia not in the framework of
    a regional tour (as it is usually the case with the officials at such
    a high level), so it was not a regular ceremonial visit".

    The newspaper also quoted Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan's words
    on "the high level of US-Armenian relations in the defence sphere"
    and their "dynamic development" against the background of "souring
    Armenian-Russian relations".
