Russia, Armenia drafting military-technical cooperation program for
period after 2013
YEREVAN. Jan 29
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and his Armenian counterpart
Seyran Ohanian have discussed regional and international security and
bilateral cooperation in Yerevan.
"We have discussed defense and military-technical cooperation and
further development of our strategic partnership," Shoigu said after
the negotiations with his Armenian colleague.
"The discussion yielded a number of additional decisions," the Russian
defense minister said.
A program of defense and military-technical cooperation will be
drafted in February for the period after 2013, he said.
Heads of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) are now
working in Yerevan, Shoigu said. "Documents will be signed within the
CSTO framework today to create additional elements, which will
contribute to regional security," he said.
In turn, Armenian Defense Minister Ohanian said that the official
visit of Shoigu to Yerevan was a planned event. International and
regional security issues were on the agenda, he said. "We compared
positions on a number of topical aspects of bilateral defense and
military-technical cooperation and issues related to the functioning
of the Russian military base stationed in Armenia," Ohanian said.
In his opinion, "the visit will apparently give a fresh impetus to our
defense cooperation and strengthen our relations."
