Representative of the Press Service of Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry,
Ilgar Verdiyev, said on 25 September that the establishment of
Russia’s 2nd military base in Armenia will lead to complications of
the critical situation in the region. Representatives from Russia’s
Defense Ministry are on a visit to Armenia. During their visit to
the Armenian capital, they will meet with senior officials from the
Government and the Defense Ministry of the country. According to
certain information, the talks will focus on the establishment of
Russia’s 2nd military base in Armenia. Russia’s 102nd military base
is currently located in Gurmi in Armenia. Military expert, retired
colonel-lieutenant Uzeyir Jafarov considers that the establishment
of Russia’s 2nd military base in Armenia will not be very simple.
According to him, currently such a step by the Russian side does not
seem realistic. "It will cause protest among countries of the region.
In addition, establishment of the military base will be an expensive
project. Moreover, opening a military base envisages implementing a
number of political procedures," he said..
