Moving Russian military equipment to Armenia not to affect Karabakh settlement.

MOSCOW, June 27 (Itar-Tass) – The redeployment of Russian military
equipment from Georgia to the Russian Defence Ministry’s base
in Armenia will not change the balance of forces in the Karabakh
conflict zone and will not hamper the quest for the ways of peaceful
settlement. Konstantin Kosachev, the chairman of the Committee for
International Relations of the State Duma lower house of parliament,
expressed his confidence in this on Monday.

He said, the Russian military bases are being speedily removed from
the Georgian territory. The Russian military base situated in Gyumri,
in the Armenian territory, is a possible place to which armaments
and equipment can be moved from Akhalkalaki base.

“If Azerbaijan offered an opportunity for the deployment of military
forces in its territory, Moscow would consent to this,” Kosachev
said. “Therefore, the redeployment of Russian military forces will
not affect the prospects for erasing tension in relations between
Armenia and Azerbaijan,” he said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
