New Armenian-Russian defense companies will be formed in Armenia, said
Artur Bagdasarian, Secretary of the Armenian National Security Council.
“The Armenian-Russian military-technical cooperation will be deepened.
A working group will be set up in the near future to draft a
new agreement regarding the Armenian-Russian military-technical
cooperation, as a result of which new joint military ventures will be
formed,” Bagdasarian was quoted by Armenian media outlets as saying
after talks with Russian counterpart Nikolai Patrushev in Yerevan
on Thursday.
Also, it has been agreed to open an Armenian-Russian training center
in Armenia to retrain border guards, and an Armenian-Russian joint
regional center for emergencies, he said.
The talks also focused on the situation in South Caucasus, Patrushev
said for his part. “Our assessments coincide,” he said.
