/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “There are no obstacles on the way of promotion of
the Armenian-Russian military cooperation,” Secretary of the National
Security Council at the Armenian President, Armenian Defense Minister
Serge Sargsyan stated. It should be noted that the Armenian MOD head
takes part in the final phase of the annual joint Armenian-Russian
military and tactical exercises that are held on the ground after
marshal Baghramyan in Armavir region of Armenia. The Minister
also added that no misunderstanding is available concerning these
matters. “I assess the level of Armenian-Russian military cooperation
as positive. Main indicator of this are the joint Armenian-Russian
military exercises held today and their efficiency,” he emphasized. In
his turn CSTO Sec. Gen. Nikolay Bordyuzha, who has also observed
the exercises, stated the joint exercises were a success. “However,
not the effect of exploding bombs, but efficient cooperation of the
Armed Forces of the two countries is the thing that is important,”
he said. “We observed exercises held at a high level,” Bordyuzha
remarked. At that in his words, there is always space for expansion
of joint activities. “It might be as well for the special forces to
take part in the next exercise to work out counter-terror tasks,”
he summed up, reported IA Regnum.
