    ARMENIA: RUSSIAN BASE WILL NOT EXPAND

    Stratfor
    Sept 28 2006

    The Russian military will not augment operations at its Gyumri base in
    Armenia, Armenian armed forces general staff chief Mikael Arutyunyan
    said Sept. 28. Arutyunyan said the base's weapons will be upgraded,
    its combat training will be enhanced and equipment will be transferred
    from Russian bases in Georgia to the Gyumri base by 2008.

    The base is manned by 5,000 Russians and forms part of the joint air
    defense system for the Commonwealth of Independent States.
