В Ереване состоялась встреча министров обороны России и Армении

Во вторник, в Ереване, состоялась встреча министра обороны России Сергея Шойгу, который в настоящее время находится на Южном Кавказе, с министром обороны Армении Сейраном Оганяном. Шойгу прибыл в Армению вчера после короткого визита в Азербайджан, во время которого он встретился с президентом Ильхамом Алиевым.

Сегодня Сергей Шойгу также примет участие во встрече министров обороны Организации Договора о коллективной безопасности (ОДКБ), проходящей в столице Армении. Как ожидается, в заседании примут участие делегации министерств обороны Армении, Беларуси, Казахстана, Кыргызстана, России и Таджикистана, а также генеральный секретарь ОДКБ Николай Бордюжа и начальник объединенного штаба ОДКБ генерал-полковник Анатолий Сидоров, ожидается участие на встрече.

Азербайджан не является членом ОДКБ, но в последние годы военное сотрудничество с Россией было значительно усилено.
