RUSSIA WILL ARM ARMENIA WITH SPECIALISTS
Last Friday the president of Russia Vladimir Putin met with the
president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan in his Sochy residence
“Bocharov Ruchey”. (…) The leaders discussed the cooperation in the
military area. “I am pleased with your application for the training
of the military specialists”, – mentioned Putin. He meant the annual
training program for 140-150 Armenian officers in Russian
institutions of higher education. Kocharyan, in his turn, asked
Armenian officers to be trained according to the Russian program not
to the “foreign”. (…) Kocharyan was assured that Russia, acting in
the framework of the Collective organization Treaty, will sell to
Armenia Russian arms for Russia prices.
