Seven Russian officers detained in Armenia on robbery charges
YEREVAN, Armenia
Officials have detained seven Russian servicemen stationed at
Russia’s military base in Armenia on suspicion of theft and robbery,
police said Wednesday.
The servicemen are believed to have committed numerous acts of
robbery and theft, including stealing cars, in the past several
months, a police spokesman said. He said police were preparing to
deliver the case to military prosecutors.
The officers were stationed at a Russian military base near the
northern Armenian city of Gyumri. Russia and Armenia have close
relations, and the base has been there since the Soviet era.

“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
