"I hereby instruct the Defense Ministry of Russia to hold negotiations with the Armenian side with the involvement of Russia's Foreign Ministry and sign the said Agreement on Russia's behalf upon reaching consent and permit making minor amendments to its draft approved by the government," the document said.
