Yerevan/Mediamax/. Commander-in-Chief of Russia’s Land Forces, Colonel General Alexander Postnikov is in Armenia.

Alexander Postnikov visits military units and divisions of Russian 102nd military base dislocated in Yerevan and Gyumri, Mediamax reports quoting “Krasnaya Zvezda” newspaper. He controls the course of organization and staff measures and optimization of the order of deployment of the units and divisions of the base in military camps.

“The presence of the Russian military base in Armenia has always been conditioned by the political-military interests of the two countries. According to the agreement on the extension of terms of deployment of the Russian military base in Armenia signed last year, the 102nd base also undertook the commitment to support Armenia’s security. Thus, it’s not a secret that the Russian military base is the indivisible part of Armenia’s security system, which is set in a number of conceptual documents of the Republic of Armenia such as the National Security Strategy, Military Doctrine”, earlier this year the First Deputy Defense Minister of Armenia David Tonoyan said in his interview to Mediamax.
