The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin
has approved the draft agreement on joint unification of Armenia's
and Russia's military forces.
Axar.az reports referring to TASS news agency.
Putin has given assignments to the RF Ministry of Defense to
launch negotiations with the RA Defense and Foreign ministries and
to sign the agreement after reaching a deal.
The draft agreement states that the establishment of joint armed
forces aims at ensuring the security of the two parties in the
Caucasus region. The agreement will be signed for the period of
five years and the date will extend automatically if none of the
parties expresses a desire to dissolve it. The priority of the
union will be to repulse the attack made on any of the two parties,
as well as to protect the state borders of Armenia and Russia.
