Armenia’s acting minister of defense Vaghrshak Harutyunyan met in Moscow with his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu.

He said the contracts on creating United Troop and United Air Defense System are being successfully implemented.
Shoigu stressed that the activity of the 102d Russian military base in Armenia is the index of high level bilateral cooperation.
He emphasized the importance of the base, calling it an important factor for ensuring security in the region.
He said during the meeting with Harutyunyan they will discuss the regional security issues, the work of the Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno Karabakh and all the acute issues created at the moment.
