Russian co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Yuri Merzlyakov has refuted the opinion about the completion of the Russian military presence in Armenia due to the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations.

"As far as I know, no completion of Russian military presence is implied", said diplomat at the joint press conference of OSCE MG co-chairs in Yerevan.
Notably, the Russian military presence in Armenia lies in the presence of a military base in the Armenian territory and protection of Armenian-Turkish and Armenian-Iranian borders by Russian frontier guards.
