PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenia’s missile defense system may join that of
CSTO, Armenian military expert said.

As Artsrun Hovhannisyan told a press conference, Armenian Prime
Minster’s words on possibility of having missile defense system
deployed in its territory meets Armenia’s interests.

The expert stressed the need for Russian to construct a new modern
system to reach the goals Gabala Radar Station initially was set
to ensure, even if it agrees with Azerbaijan on extension of the
station’s lease terms.

“Russia may agree on deployment of a new complex in Armenia. Besides,
Armenia’s geographic position allows for more effective operation of
missile systems,” Mr. Hovhannisyan said.

“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
