Armenia-Russia joint air defense agreement endorsed in Parliament

YEREVAN, JUNE 3, ARMENPRESS.  The Standing Committee of Foreign Relations of the Parliament endorsed to include the “Establishment of joint air defense system in Collective security Caucasian region between Armenia and Russia” agreement.

“The aim of this agreement is the establishment of a joint air defense system in the Caucasian region of the collective security, for improving the regional air defense”, Deputy Defense Minister A. Nazaryan said.

The agreement defines the authorized parties to plan and implement the air defense system, cooperation, and joint training. 

The agreement was signed in December of 2015 by the Defense Ministers of Armenia and Russia.

Russia is also in the process of ratifying the agreement.
