ArmInfo. Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan disproved today
the information of several mass media that in August of the current
year Russia used its military bases in Armenia to implement battle
flights of Russian military planes to the territory of Georgia, –
Izvestia reported.

"This did not happen. Anti-aircraft defence of Armenia was attentively
controlling the air space of the republic and such information is
disproved", – Ohanyan said at the briefing in Tbilisi.

He also added that according to the Armenian-Russian arrangements
"the 202-nd Russian military base deployed in Armenia may be used
only along the external border of the former USSR and only after
coordination with the Armenian party".

“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
