Russian envoy: No question of withdrawing Russian base from Armenia

There is no question of withdrawing the Russian military base from Armenia, Russian Ambassador to Yerevan Sergey Kopyrkin told Russian media.

"I don’t know about such signals. I am guided by the official statements that were made from the Armenian side, in particular, that there is no question of withdrawing the base. There were no such signals from the Russian side either,” he noted.

The 102nd Russian military base is deployed in Armenia in accordance with the interstate agreement between Moscow and Yerevan of 1995. On August 20, 2010, the Russian Federation and Armenia extended the validity of the agreement on the deployment of the base until 2044.
