/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Secretary of the National Security Council at the
President of Armenia, Defense Minister Serge Sargsian does not agree
with statements that Armenia’s relations with Russia are those of a
vassal. Serge Sargsian stated it in the course of a press conference
today. In his words, he had never noted anyone representing the Russian
party making claims against Armenia, which could have infringed upon
his dignity as an Armenian. “We have partner relations with Russia,”
Serge Sargsian noted. Answering the question whether information
that Russian bases will be withdrawn from Tbilisi to Armenia is true,
the Defense Minister noted that he did not possess such information.
