Russian military specialists visit Yerevan to discuss the modernization of the armed forces of Armenia

97


Another Russian military delegation is on a visit to Armenia. Moscow regularly interacts with Yerevan's military department to provide more defense and security assistance to its main regional ally. The delegation from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was headed by Major General Valery Zhilan.



The Armenian Defense Ministry reported:

A group of Russian military specialists arrived in the capital of Armenia for bilateral talks

The ministry issued a statement stating that V. Zhilan informed Arshak Karapetyan, the head of the Armenian Defense Ministry, in which direction the cooperation would move, and also noted the forthcoming volume of work. In turn, Karapetyan outlined a range of issues that are of primary interest to the Armenians.

Yerevan has deepened its already close cooperation with the Russian Federation after a ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh was reached with the mediation of Russia last year.

Since then, Moscow has deployed troops to the Syunik region of Armenia, which borders areas southwest of Karabakh that Azerbaijan has taken under control during and after hostilities.

In May of this year, Yerevan requested additional deployment of Russian army servicemen (as well as border guards) along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

Russian-Armenian discussions are aimed at assisting our country in the early reform and modernization of the armed forces of Armenia

- noted the former Minister of Defense of Armenia Vagharshak Harutyunyan.

Earlier, Sergei Shoigu assured Karapetyan of further assistance to Armenia from Moscow. It was also about the supply of Russian weapons Armenian army.

Defense contracts were signed between Armenia and Russia within the framework of the Army-2021 exhibition

- said Dmitry Shugaev, Director of the Federal Service of Russia for Military-Technical Cooperation

There is also information about the ongoing discussion of a new Russian-Armenian agreement on a joint air defense system. The joint air defense system has existed since the late 1990s, and it underwent modernization in 2015.

Earlier in Azerbaijan, some individuals heard accusations against the Russian Federation that Russia was selling weapons to Armenia. The logic is strange. After all, Azerbaijan is not content with weapons exclusively of its own production, but actively purchases them abroad, including in Turkey and Israel.

      Of course not worth it. I remember how during Azerbaijan's attack on Karabakh, they heroically fought on the Internet. In this battle, they suffered severe losses in sofas and keyboards, but did not retreat.

        If you don’t know you don’t need to carry a blizzard, many went to fight, if there was no one then whom Aliyev periodically calls that the mercenaries fought ?? He simply cannot imagine that people can just come to defend their historical homeland .. Here one comrade heart-rendingly declared that the Turks did not fight for Azerbaijan, but the other day Aliyev was rewarding Turkish pilots who participated in this war ..

            I don't take sides. But just the warriors of Azerbaijan have dirtied everything with their mud, the bot farm is worse than the Ukrainian one, the general approach in methods is felt, and the VO has not spared it either. And in fairness, the Armenians themselves lost the support of Russia, but Azerbaijan fought far from alone. So it's not a matter of courage, objective facts speak volumes.

                    My colleague was an Armenian, so he did not really feel that he belonged to the Russian people. They have it in their blood to somehow feel like a special tribe and clan, this is a burning question for them. Any diaspora is a good indicator, they do not want to integrate at all, they are very concerned about their national identity. I repeat, they prefer to show all this in Russia, only here these feelings are greatly exacerbated. Here they are the fruits of the 90s, when each republic sharply began to consider itself an exclusive breadwinner.

          Why are these arguments about consistency? Look at our other neighbors, NATO somehow doesn't really think about their viability, they just use them as hotbeds of tension, on which Russia will scatter its forces. Such advice was enough in the 90s. Did you save a lot, for example, on Georgia alone? Yes, take more others, do not make us poor, does not remind anyone? We have only friends on the borders, there are practically no problems, NATO is not expanding at all. At the same time, we will show that we are no worse than the US army, we can abandon our allies. As long as we can remain calm at the borders, we must use this. Well, conversations in methods of expression are conversations in favor of the poor.

As long as we can remain calm at the borders, we must use this. But conversations in methods of expression are conversations in favor of the poor ... "

            Whose will you, suhorukofal (Alexey Sukhorukov)? feel What connoisseurs? Promise not to marry, but from the Russian Federation delicious food - from freebies to moving ... bully Allies Who Didn't Recognize "Their" Artsakh request , but DEMANDED from the Russian Federation to enter into hostilities (war) with Azerbaijan, straining in all the media about its membership in the CSTO. bully
            Until VVP reminded them that CSTO - in case of an attack on Armenia itself... How much dirt is poured on the Russian Federation, but the "heroes" do not stop at insults. The Armenian guests staged "military" actions on the streets of the Russian Federation and in the shopping center with Azerbaijanis. So far, the GDP has not warned that ALL fighters on the "vegetable" front will be severely punished. where is the hero of THEM (living in the Russian Federation) on the fields of THEIR HOMELAND - Armenia?
            Are they allies? How many felonies and silence, example of a GRU soldier Belyankin (RF, Central Russia, Moscow region, Putilkovo-Krasnogorsk), killed from his home by 12 Armenians, because he stood up for 2 local Russian guys who have already been KILLED... One already had his stomach ripped open, the other was lying, and they were simply killed. And the silence, someone after the intervention of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, they were arrested, the killer, with the support of the diaspora, successfully flew to Armenia. And without the intervention of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Russian media have already launched a fake - just a drunken fight (of course, organized by drunks - you guessed it .....) and EVERYTHING .... and it doesn't matter that Belyankin's old people are forever left alone to meet old age, and he (Belyankin ) died on the lap of his bride....
            R.S. There are "friends" more terrible than enemies.
            To wisely live life, it is necessary to know a lot,
            Two important rules to remember for a start:
            You better starve, than what horrible there is,
            And it's better to be alone than with anyone.

              Imagine, allies, there is even a treaty, what is international law, obligations, you know? So, this should not be confused with crime and the corruption of our Ministry of Internal Affairs. Following your logic, we directly have to repeat the 90s, the times of such kitchen geniuses are over, so it looks like sclerosis in you. Other thoughts do not come to mind that it is necessary to somehow solve such problems without creating new ones at their borders?

                Yes, he knows, don't worry. But for some reason only the Russian Federation should know about this, the obligations under the CSTO are multilateral, not unilateral (where only the Russian Federation should fulfill its obligations) ...
                In the year Pashinyan came to power in the RA, the freedom-loving people of the latter called the military forces of the RF Armed Forces invaders and wanted to get out of the RF Armed Forces from the RA, while burning the flags of the RF ... now this people of RA wants these invaders to fight for them, for those lands that the Armenians themselves do not recognize as their own ...
                It may be easier for the Russian Federation to meet the freedom-loving people of the Republic of Armenia and leave the Republic of Armenia, especially since there are no Russian schools in the Republic of Armenia, and only 80 Russian-speaking people live there.
                So, this should not be confused with crime and the corruption of our Ministry of Internal Affairs.

                Why not be confused? When a Russian soldier of the 201st WB of the Russian Federation killed an Armenian family, the local population began to block our WB, and rallies were held in Yerevan .... or do the Armenians in the Russian Federation not commit crimes?
                no thoughts come to mind that it is necessary to somehow solve such problems without creating new ones at our borders?

                At the southern borders of the Russian Federation, there are no problems, the border with Georgia and Azerbaijan is well equipped in engineering terms and is guarded by the FPS of the FSB of the Russian Federation, in addition, the WB in Abkhazia and the Republic of South Ossetia is covered in the Georgian direction ...
                Or do you mean to solve the problem of the borders of the Republic of Armenia with its neighbors, why should it do this, and not the Republic of Armenia itself or another member of the CSTO?
                I don't even want to answer something to this set of words anymore, you still won't understand

                Exactly. From your set of words, you can only understand one thing that:

                  Because well, the allies in the CSTO do not want to fight for Armenia .... In Armenia, nationalism is at such a level that they say “all the Turks are our enemies,” and even many opposed the Tatars because the Tatars are also Turkic-speaking. And in the CSTO, 3 out of 6 countries are Turkic-speaking, and they all understand perfectly well that if they were in the neighborhood of Armenia, then Armenia would be aggrieved against them. Also, Belarus is one of the main strategic allies of Azerbaijan in the post-Soviet space. Russia and Tajikistan are left, the second has its own problems at the borders ...

                  I see you do not understand the subject of communication. Okay, I will not be too lazy to write in more detail. I speak about the ally factor, I do not deny our problems with national crime, this situation has been heating up for a long time, moreover, I think more drastic actions are needed in relation to all diasporas to their all sorts of hot guys who arrange "sabbaths" in Russia because of their national disagreement or tradition. Consequently, we also need to actively pursue our own policy in these republics, to strengthen our influence, and not to look from the outside what you propose, just as you propose to simply score on all this in the spirit of letting them figure it out. This is exactly what we are talking about, and not about how and where hot nationalities behave, this is generally a separate and very long conversation.
                  And about your comments with the same sheet, I will not be lazy:
                  In the year Pashinyan came to power in the RA, the freedom-loving people of the latter called the military forces of the RF Armed Forces invaders and wanted to leave the RF Armed Forces from the RA

                  Therefore, he called for the fact that some embassy had grown beyond its normal size, which increased its influence. Would there be such a useless region as you argue, there would not be such an active work of the states in it, or do you think this is out of great love? But you offer to take offense and show a fig instead of opposing.
                  The Russian Federation must solve the problems of the RA ...

                  Can you imagine the leadership of Russia thinks in the same way as the leadership of any country that claims to be the leader in the region, and even more so in the world. Vaughn acts as a mediator in a military conflict, and in the light of recent events only strengthened our authority, surprisingly, this is a normal practice for world powers. Do you think this is the wrong position? Although, of course, the CSTO was created by Kazakhstan and Armenia to protect Russia? Naturally, decisions must be made to strengthen their authority and security, and not for the sake of altruism. Or do we not need allies in the Caucasus, everything is fine with Georgia, Azerbaijan, which is already half dependent on NATO, and everything is fine with Turkey?
                  It may be easier for the Russian Federation to meet the freedom-loving people of the Republic of Armenia and leave the Republic of Armenia

                  Such slogans were all over the former USSR, they did everything, as you said, did we have fewer problems? I repeat, you can leave these countries, but in return we will get hotbeds of tension, we will have to spend a lot of resources, dissipate our forces, spend them on several "fronts" at once.
                  Why not be confused? When a Russian soldier of the 201st WB RF killed

                  Once again, re-read my words on this matter, that this is a separate voluminous topic, do you set the goal of organizing demagoguery or talking about a specific problem?
                  At the southern borders of the Russian Federation, there are no problems

                  Are you seriously? So there are no problems with Georgia, and Turkey's ears are nowhere looming. Do you seriously need to explain what the threat to the strengthening of NATO in the Caucasus? And why is it important for us to have allies in this region? Actually, it was worth starting with this. I am crucifying here about why it is important to have an ally in the Caucasus, in response you yourself give arguments that only confirm the opinions of why you need to increase your influence, if you don’t understand this, then there is no point in talking initially, I shouldn’t be crucified here

        Yes. Right. Russia needs to act like the United States. Forget all grudges and all that stuff and expand your spheres of influence. Instead of sitting and waiting until neighboring countries suddenly begin to be loyal to Russia and reach out. It doesn't work that way. It is necessary to fight for their loyalty. Of course, nothing happens and never happens. This is an example of the United States, how they operate. And they are making progress, unlike the Russian Federation.

      Everything is simpler. To shoot at the Russian Armed Forces of the Russian Federation means declaring war on Russia. That is why Russian border guards are stationed there. In the Armenians, even though they were called up from Russia to the Armed Forces of Armenia, they will shoot boldly in the mustache without blowing.

      And what is common between the Armenians living in the Russian Federation and having citizenship there and the army of Armenia? Such Armenians by citizenship in the army of the Russian Federation should serve, and not in the Armenian. The armies are not divided, as it were, along ethnic lines.

        - why the Armenian ministers lost their posts;
        - If Russia relieved the Armenians of their position to defend their own borders and if they did not participate in the war, then where were they, maybe they fought the Internet from toilets?
        - Where did the former autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh get so many soldiers from? According to official figures, there were about 150k of them, together with the elderly, children, and women, and half of them permanently reside abroad;
        - Pashinyan himself said that if he had not capitulated, then after the loss of Shushi more than 25 thousand Armenian soldiers would have died, as they were surrounded;
        - if Armenia did not fight, then with which side did it shoot Iskander ....;
        - the former autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh has so many tanks, rocket systems, guns, air defense systems - this is a country that is not recognized by anyone and no one has the right to sell weapons to them, since this is a documentary separatist formation ...
        - and many more facts indicate that 80% of manpower and technical forces were from Armenia, 10% were the separatist organization itself, and 10% were those who came from abroad.

        Azerbaijan openly said that it was at war with Armenia on its territory, but Armenia cannot admit the fact that it fought for the sole reason that in such cases it is an aggressor side and then the CSTO will not be able to defend it. Moreover, all the CSTO countries except Russia and Tajikistan supported Azerbaijan, while Russia and Tajikistan remained neutral.

    Yes. Right. Russia needs to act like the United States. Forget all grudges and all that stuff and expand your spheres of influence. Instead of sitting and waiting until neighboring countries suddenly begin to be loyal to Russia and reach out. It doesn't work that way. It is necessary to fight for their loyalty. Of course, nothing happens and never happens. This is an example of the United States, how they operate. And they are making progress, unlike the Russian Federation.

    It is foolish to sit and wait for something. With such a policy, the Russian Federation will remain completely alone, surrounded by enemies along the perimeter of the borders.

    The funny thing is that Russians do not agree to please someone for the sake of "friendship." We accept a person as he is in essence.

    So if they also bought weapons from the Russian Federation, it would be cheaper. It's a shame, I guess! Well, who made a bet on whom, if Turkey and Israel are dearer to them, then the Russian Federation will not dissuade, but no matter how they wash away with burning tears.
    In Turkey and Israel, Azerbaijan buys those systems that we simply do not have and will not appear in the foreseeable future.
    Azerbaijan acquired the same attack drones from Israel and produced them under license much earlier than the Turks had their Bayraktars. Yes, and we bought the SEARCHER UAV from Israel and started their production as an Outpost later than Azerbaijan.
    We have a sad situation with Azerbaijan, on the one hand there is a Russian-speaking and focused on us Ilham Aliyev, dozens of Russian schools, in Baku you can freely apply in Russian, as the majority understands and speaks, on the other hand, because of Armenia, we ourselves constantly push Azerbaijan away ...
    In addition, when they leave us for military-technical cooperation, it is not they who wash away with flammable tears, but it is we who lose money and the workload of our enterprises, funds for research and development, etc. The point is not cheapness, they are not a member of the CSTO, we sell them all weapons at world prices.
    For example, only Azerbaijan bought the Vena self-propelled guns from us, which existed only in a couple of samples, that is, it came to us, what was there and how we managed to screw it, but in the end Azerbaijan left us and bought mortars on a wheeled chassis from the same Israel. What have we gained from this?

    Here one comrade heart-rendingly declared that the Turks did not fight for Azerbaijan, but the other day Aliyev awarded the Turkish pilots who participated in this war.

    For Azerbaijan, whatever one may say, NATO members fought, and Armenians fought for Armenia.
    Turkish F-16s remained at their airfield throughout the war, flew to the exercises just before the start of the war and were left there. If our aviation entered the war on the side of the Armenians, the Turks would substitute, and an attack on a Turkish fighter, this attack on Turkey, gives it the right to block the Bosphorus for us. The Armenians, of course, went out of their way so that we entered the war with Azerbaijan on their side, or rather fought for them, but nothing came of it. At the same time, Turkish fighters did not take a direct part in the war.
    This war was negotiated, Azerbaijan started it not without our consent and agreements with Turkey, plus the Turks acted as guarantors and arbiters for Azerbaijan with these planes. So the Turkish flyers received medals or what they were awarded with, for being ready to substitute, with all the consequences for them, and not for participating in hostilities.

    Russian military specialists visit Yerevan to discuss the modernization of the armed forces of Armenia

    And who will pay for it?
    Obviously, the Armenians do not have money, we will put everything on credit, but at the same time our enterprises will work, our people will receive salaries.
