Patrushev: Armenia need not worry about ensuring its security
Strategic relations between Armenia and Russia are on the highest level, Nikolay Patrushev, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, told reporters in Yerevan.
Nikolai Patrushev and his Armenian counterpart, Arthur Baghdasaryan, signed today a number of agreements relating to defense and security.
“A respective legal base is necessary for active and efficient cooperation,” said the Russian official.
Speaking of Russian arms sales to Azerbaijan, Patrushev said that Russia, selling weapons, observes its international commitments and requirements as well as Russian laws.
“Besides, we have strategic relations with Armenia. During this visit, we toured the Russian military base and made sure that our servicemen, our army and border guard firmly defend the security of Armenia, and you need not worry about ensuring the security of the country. There are sufficient resources and might there, and we have checked it together,” Patrushev concluded.
