“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
to him, Armenian-Russian cooperation can only expand in all directions.

“However, we understand that we should learn about the experience of
development of Armed Forces in other countries,” the Minister added.

Turning to the military and technical cooperation between Armenia and
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.
