YEREVAN. – Armenian and Russian nations are united historically, spiritually, socially and economically, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in the interview with “CSTO Allies” journal.

“Collaboration between Armenia and Russia has reached to a strategic partnership, and cooperation within CSTO strengthened relations developing dynamically. CSTO influenced positively on the military capability of Armenia and contributed to the realization of security in the region,” the President stated.

According to Sargsyan, the existence of the United Army Group based on Armenian and Russian Armed Forces in the territory of Armenia is within the interests of Armenia and serves for the base of ensuring regional security. Russian military base N102 is included in the group. Its status is determined by an interstate treaty.

Russian President Dmitri Medvedev signed a protocol during his last year visit to Armenia and prolonged the term of Russian military base in Armenia for another 49 years. The document states that Russian Armed Forces will provide modern and compatible weapons and military equipments, Sargsyan added.
