YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22, ARMENPRESS. The 102nd Russian military base stationed in Gyumri, Armenia, is one of the important components of the country’s security, defense minister Vigen Sargsyan told RIA Novosti.

The minister reminded that the initiator of extending the agreement on the military base’s stationing was Armenia itself.

“I think this is one of the significant elements of our cooperation in the military-political sphere, and we think the base is an important deterrent factor. We find the Russian 102nd military base, stationed in Armenia, to be one of the important components of the country’s security system”, Sargsyan said, adding currently there is no issue of increasing the personnel in the base.

“Regarding increasing the personnel and armaments of the base, it is a tactical issue. In case of necessity, such issues are solved within hours. Thank God, all resources and capabilities exist for it. Increasing the number of personnel can’t be an end in itself. It must respond to a specific challenge in a specific situation”, Sargsyan said.
