07 March 2006 [10:13] - TODAY.AZ
"The Armenian-Russian military cooperation, especially the presence of the Russian military in Armenia, neutralizes the military threat coming from Turkey," says the report titled "Directions of National Security Strategy of the Republic of Armenia".

The document notes that the Armenian-Russian strategic partnership is developing in three important directions, these being coalition groups, anti-aircraft defense and cooperation within the CSTO. Besides the bilateral format the Armenian-Russian relations are no less important within multilateral framework.

"For example, the unified anti-aircraft defense system along with the joint Armenian-Russian patrol solves one of the most important problems of the national security while the Armenian-Russian military bloc within the CSTO maintains the military-political balance in the South Caucasian region," the report says.

At the same time the Armenian-Russian relations never posed obstacles for the development of other directions of Armenia's foreign policy including the European integration.

"Russia has also adopted the European way of development and the closing of Russia and the European Union creates a favorable field for harmonization of Armenia's two priority directions for the development of state and national security as well as for the achievement of desired outcomes," the document says.
