09:32 • 26.08.10
The defense pact recently signed between Armenia and Russia during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s visit to Armenia is an affair up to Yerevan and Moscow, official representative of the US State Department Mark Toner said at a briefing asked to comment about it.
“Well, I think we’d view it as a bilateral issue between Russia and Armenia. Obviously, the United States enjoys a strong partnership with Armenia. We have every expectation that this will continue. And Russia is a member of – or part of the Minsk Group and so is playing a constructive role in that capacity,” he said.
The new agreement allows the deployment of the Russian military base in Armenia up to 2046.
The Russian 102nd Military Base is a Russian military base in Gyumri, Armenia, part of the Transcaucasian Group of Forces. It was formerly the Soviet Army's 127th Motor Rifle Division of the Soviet Seventh Guards Army. The base is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of the Armenian capital, Yerevan.
