YEREVAN.- Military parade showed we have new weapons and ammunition,
we saw what our factories are producing, Major General Arkady
Ter-Tadevosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. The renowned military
pointed out the drones made by Armenia.

“Weapons are also being modernized. We have demonstrated the newly
acquired equipment which is very important. S-300 anti-aircraft
missile systems demonstrated at the parade are not up-to-date (Russia
has already produced S-400 and S-500) but at the regional level our
facilities are sufficient to ensure security,” he said.

Ter-Tadevosyan also referred to missile defense complexes and other
types of weapons shown at international exhibitions.

“Thank God, Armenia already has its own weapons,” said Major General
who was agreeably surprised both at military equipment and skills of
military personnel.

Automatically controlled anti-aircraft missile system S-300, one
division of which can simultaneously track six targets by launching
two guided missiles at each, were demonstrated at the parade.

Specially adjusted to the conditions of mountain air, defense
battalions of S-300 control the entire airspace of the Republic
of Armenia.

ANKARA MENACE DE GELER SES RELATIONS AVEC L’UE EN L’ABSENCE DE SOLUTION A CHYPRE
[email protected]

armenews.com
mercredi 21 septembre 2011

TURQUIE

La Turquie menace de nouveau de “geler” ses relations avec l’Union
europeenne si une solution n’est pas trouvee a la division de Chypre
lorsque la presidence tournante de l’UE reviendra a la Republique
de Chypre en juillet 2012, a declare le vice-premier ministre turc
Besir Atalay.

“Si les negociations (sur Chypre) n’ont pas une issue positive
et si l’UE donne la presidence (de l’Europe) a Chypre du sud, la
crise sera principalement entre l’UE et la Turquie. Parce que nous
gèlerons nos relations avec l’UE (…) Cela provoquera une rupture
majeure dans nos relations avec l’UE”, a-t-il prevenu samedi soir,
sur une television de la republique autoproclamee de Chypre du nord.

La Turquie ne reconnaît pas la Republique de Chypre (internationalement
reconnue) qui ne represente que les Chypriotes-grecs. Elle reconnaît
en revanche la Republique turque de Chypre du nord (RTCN), où vit la
communaute turque.

Le Premier ministre turc, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a menace a plusieurs
reprises d’un gel des relations avec l’UE, sur la question chypriote.

“Si une solution a la partition de Chypre n’est pas obtenue” d’ici la
fin de l’annee, “la Turquie gèlera pendant la presidence tournante de
Chypre (juillet-decembre 2012) ses relations avec l’Union europeenne”,
avait-il menace fin juillet.

“Je le dis clairement : nous gèlerons tout nos rapports avec
l’UE. Il ne nous est pas possible de discuter avec l’administration
chypriote-grecque”, c’est-a-dire la Republique de Chypre, avait-il
ajoute.

Le dossier chypriote a très peu evolue depuis 2004, quand les
Chypriotes-grecs ont massivement rejete un plan onusien de
reunification qui avait ete accepte par les Chypriotes-turcs.

Peu après ce referendum, la secteur grec de l’île a adhere a l’UE,
une adhesion accompagnee de promesses europeennes d’aides a la RTCN,
qui selon les Turcs, n’ont pas ete suivies d’effet.
