Galust Sahakayan hopes for powerful Armenia to deploy its bases in other countriesAugust 25, 2010 - 12:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - It’s not a positive factor for any state to have another country’s military base be deployed in its territory, according to Galust Sahakayan, head of parliamentary group of the Republican Party of Armenia. At the same time, he noted that deployment of the Russian military base is advantageous for Armenia and voiced hope that RA will one day become a powerful country and will itself deploy bases in other states. “Moscow maintains the military balance in the region. Under the amendments introduced to the agreement between Armenia and Russia, the Russian base will ensure Armenia’s security, what is of utmost importance, specifically in view of Karabakh conflict,” Sahakayan told reporters on August 25. He also said that in case of resumption of hostilities Russia will not be the only country to defend NKR. Commenting on extension of deployment terms, Sahakayan noted that Russia needs cooperation guarantees.
