What Will Happen to the 102nd Russian Military Base in Armenia? Auroranews Journalist's Question to Pashinyan
I cannot specify the exact day and time for leaving the CSTO, and as for the 102nd Russian military base in Armenia, we currently have no questions. This was stated by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a press conference at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex, responding to a question from an Auroranews journalist about when Armenia will leave the CSTO and what will happen to the Russian military base in Armenia.
“It should be noted that the Armenian border guards are fully functioning at Zvartnots International Airport. My understanding is that we have expressed gratitude to the Russian border guards for providing this service for so many years and have acknowledged that we have sufficient capabilities to handle this ourselves. It is not the case that this is a trivial issue for Russia; it also constitutes a burden for them. And who said that Russia's capabilities are limitless, especially in the current circumstances? This is not a contradiction, but cooperation,” he said.
