    On September 27, at a joint press conference with Tarya Halonen, the
    president of Finland, Robert Kocharyan, the president of Armenia,
    said Armenia is interested in the location of Russian military base
    on its territory. "The presence of a Russian military base in Armenia
    is meant for security and is part of the Armenian security program,"
    Kocharyan said. He denied the information that Russia imposes its
    military presence on Armenia. "Armenia is interested in the location
    of a Russian military base on its territory, because the country is
    situated in a troublesome region where conflicts are not rare. Russia
    and Armenia have a mutual agreement on the subject, which is recorded
    in a treaty," noted President Kocharyan. However, he said at present
    there would be no further strengthening of Russian military presence
    in Armenia.
