Armenia received no proposal on installation of U.S. anti-aircraft radar

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia has not received any proposals on installation of U.S. anti-aircraft system elements on its territory, said Deputy Defense Minister, chief of the RA armed forces general staff, col gen Mikael Harutyunyan. In his words, Armenia being a CSTO member does not wish further armament build-up in the region. "The U.S. should decide where to mount the system but I do not see any sense in it," he said. Russia and the U.S. had better to reach an agreement on joint use of the Russian radar station in Azerbaijan, according to him.



"Anyway, it's not our business. Our business is to strengthen our defense and to cooperate with our strategic partner - Russia as well as with the United States and European countries. We think it's difficult for minor states to settle security issues solely. We should enjoy close relations with our immediate partners and not forget about the U.S., European states and our neighbors," he said, reports newsarmenia.ru
