Armenian and Russian Defense Ministers Vagharshak Harutyunyan and Sergey Shoygu have discussed the results of staff talks on Armenian-Russian bilateral military cooperation held last week, as well as the process of resolving Armenia’s security issues in the post-war period.

The Minister of Defense expressed satisfaction with the activity of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno Karabakh, noting that the best evidence of its effectiveness is the almost complete observance of the ceasefire, due to which no serious incidents were registered in December-January, except for one case when an Artsakh serviceman was wounded.

Vagharshak Harutyunyan and Sergey Shoygu also referred to issues of regional development.

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
