Yesterday at the military school after H. Bakhramyan the last forth
phase of `Rubezh-2008′ took place. The RA President Serzh Sargsyan, the
Secretary General of Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)
Nikolay Borduzha and other officials attend it. Before the beginning of
the military exercises the whole military technique included in the
exercises were presented to the guests and militaries. The guests with
great interest examined especially the ammunitions produced in the
military-industrial offices of Armenia. Colonel-Lieutenant Miqael
Grigoryan informed that about 2500 servicemen from Armenia and Russia,
496 points military technique etc took part in the exercises. `Such
military exercises are being held in our country for the first time.
The exercises consist of four phases with three levels ` military,
operative and strategic’, the RA Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan said
and noted that the bodies of state governance of Armenia were also
included in the exercises. During the exercises the participants
expressed high psychological qualities, readiness and professionalism.
So the relationship between the member countries of CSTO is more
tightened. It was a very important step in providing the region by
collective security. The armed forces of the CSTO member countries got
a new quality. During the conversation with the journalists the
Secretary General of the CSTO Nikolay Borduzha said that the fourth
phase of exercises was the most difficult one. Generally `Rubezh-2008′
was a great experiment for the participants and the organization. To
the question if CSTO will help its member countries in the case of
menace Nikolay Borduzha answered that it is a technique question and
will depend on the thing how CSTO will be able to prepare its armed
forces.
At the end of the exercises there was a solemn march. The RA President
greeted first the Armenian-Russian united army then gave them
encouraging gifts.
