PRESENCE OF RUSSIAN MILITARY UNITS IN ARMENIA’s TERRITORY
LOST ITS POLITICAL AND STRATEGICAL MEANING: VAZGEN MANUKYAN

YEREVAN, JUNE 9. ARMINFO. Presence of Russian military units in
Armenia’s territory lost its political and strategical meaning,
stated Leader of opposition “National-Democratic Union” party,
Armenia’s ex- deputy defence minister Vazgen Manukyan in an interview
to ARMINFO.

“I think, neither Russia’s nor the US or NATO’s military units should
be deployed in Armenia’s territory”, he stated. At the same time,
Manukyan stressed that Armenia should not follow Georgia’s example
and quickly withdraw Russia’s units from its territory. “This issue
will be solved in time as neither Russia nor Armenia need it”, he
stated. Manukyan stressed that all the three Southern Caucasian
republics should free themselves from the military presence of
foreign countries in their territories. -r-
