YEREVAN, June 16 — Russian-Armenian exercises will be held in
Armenia’s territory in early September, said Colonel-General Mikhail
Arutyunian, chief of Armenia’s General Staff.

Arutyunian told Itar-Tass on Thursday preparations for the exercises
are under way.

“It is necessary to conduct them at the highest level because this
strengthens defence capacity of the country and combat efficiency of
the Armed Forces,” the Armenian military stressed.
