/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia is a sovereign independent state, capable of
protecting its border on its own, Lieutenant-General Sergey Bondarev,
Head of RF FSB’s Administration in Armenia, told a PanARMENIAN.Net
correspondent in Armavir during a meeting with journalists. He
referred to the 1992 Armenian-Russian Agreement on Joint Protection of
Armenian-Turkish border. `I’m just confident that border is protected
by all Armenians. As to us, we just perform our duties of delivering
aid,’ he stressed.
On May 30, Armenian frontier forces celebrated their 85th
anniversary. The troops guard the border section extending along the
rivers Araks and Akhouryan (with a length of 126.2km.). The total
length of the Armenian-Turkish border is 328 km. Another border
section is guarded by Gyumri frontier forces.
