    - Russian Defence Ministry Sergei Shoigu, who arrived in Armenia on

    congratulated the country and its President Serzh Sargsyan on the
    national Armed Forces' Day.

    Shoigu and Sargsyan "stressed the importance of further strengthening
    of strategic allied relations between Russia and Armenia and enhanced
    bilateral military and military-technical cooperation," the executive
    office the Armenian president said.

    It said this is important in dealing with existing challenges.

    Shoigu and Sargsyan discussed programmes for further development of
    military-to-military cooperation.

    "Relations between our countries are very warm. The heads of our
    states set an example for us to follow. And we should live up to this
    level," Shoigu said. "I have many friends here and I am glad to be
    here."

    "Serzh Sargsyan warmly greeted the Russian defence minister and
    stressed the importance of his visit on the Armenian Armed Forces'
    Day," Shoigu's spokesperson Darya Zatulina said.

    "During a warm meeting they recalled the earlier visits by the defence
    minister who had done so much for Armenia after earthquakes in his
    previous position," she said.

    On Tuesday morning, January 29, Shoigu is scheduled to have talks with
    his Armenian counterpart Seyran Ohanyan. After the talks he will head
