News - Lavrov: Discussions about expediency of Russian military base in Armenia are harmful

We consider discussions on the expediency of deploying the Russian 102nd Military Base on the territory of Armenia to be harmful. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this in an interview with TASS. "The agreement on its deployment there was signed on March 16, 1995, based, first of all, on national interests and the shared goal of our countries to strengthen stability in the South Caucasus," added the Russian FM. Also, Lavrov noted that the Russian military is "a key element in ensuring peace in this region."
