“Armenia does not develop its relations with NATO at the expense of
Armenian-Russian cooperation,” RA Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan
declared in his interview to “Krasnaya Gazeta” newspaper. According

Russia, the Defense Minister emphasized the importance of permanent
development of these relations. In his words, the 102nd Russian
military base has a special role in Armenian-Russian relations.
