/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia and Armenia are equally interested in
maintenance of balance of forces in the South Caucasus, strengthening
of stability and security in the region, President of the Union of
Armenians of Russia Ara Abrahamyan said. “Russia is not indifferent
about the situation in the region and the role of Armenia. Armenia is
certainly not indifferent either. Moreover the Armenians of Russia
can do much for strengthening stability in the South Caucasus,”
Abrahamyan said. The UAR leader positively assesses the decision on
conveyance of a part of military equipment to the 102nd Russian base in
Gyumri. “Armenia made a proposal targeted at prevention of misbalance
in the region and it’s good that it is being implemented,” he said.

He also informed, he is unaware of investments made by
Russian businessmen of Armenian origin into the defense sector
of Armenia. “However the Union of Armenians of Russia is actively
working within the Russian military units deployed in Armenia. In
part, we provide computers, TV sets, home equipment and arrange
various cultural events,” Abrahamyan said, reported Interfax.
