Armenia is interested in stationing of Russian military bases in
its territory, as the country is situated in a complicated and
conflict-affected region, its President Robert Kocharian has said.

The deployment of Russian bases in Armenia is envisioned by the
country’s security concept, Kocharian said in a news conference in
Yerevan on Tuesday.

He noted that the Russian arms were earlier moved from Georgia to
Armenia in accordance with the agreement reached by the two countries.*
