Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved and instructed to sign the draft Agreement on a joint group of forces in the Caucasus region with Armenia, TASS reports.

According to the project, Russia and Armenia are planning to create a joint group of forces in the Caucasus region.

The document states that a Unified Command structure will be created to manage the force, which will be established “to ensure the security of parties in the Caucasus region.”

The group’s prerogatives will include repelling any armed attack on either party, as well as defending the state borders of Armenia and Russia.

“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
