The “In the Name of the Republic” party in Armenia protested on Saturday at the 102nd Russian military base in the city of Gyumri. Dozens of people demanded the closure of the base and the reduction of Russian presence in Armenia. They chanted “Out” and “Traitor Putin”. The authorities in Moscow have not commented on the case, reports IPN.<\/p>\n\n

Meanwhile, the opposition party “Mother Armenia” organized a rally in support of the Russian military base. The rally participants came out with placards, which read “Hands off the Russian military base 102”.<\/p>\n\n

The Ukrainian Military Intelligence Agency (GUR) recently warned <\/a>that the Russian Federation is intensifying and consolidating its military presence in Armenia through its military base there. More specifically, the GUR published a classified telegram signed by Sergei Zemskov, acting chief of staff of Russia’s Southern Military District. It is an order from the military district commander for the urgent “reinforcement” of the Russian military base in the Armenian city of Gyumri.<\/p>\n\n

Armenia and Russia established the 102nd military base there in the ’90s, with the purpose of Russian soldiers protecting the border with Turkey and being able to quickly deploy in the Karabakh region in case of an Azerbaijani military move. This did not happen in 2023, when Baku regained full control over the Karabakh region, following a military campaign.<\/p>\n\n

The Russian military base in Gyumri is the largest Russian military facility in the South Caucasus region. It hosts up to 5,000 people, including military families. The base includes MiG-29 fighter jets and S-300 air defense systems.<\/p>\n\n

Last year, in an unprecedented event, Armenia suspended its participation in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a Moscow-led alliance equivalent to the North Atlantic Alliance.<\/p>\n\n

According to the Armenian Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, there is “no advantage” in the presence of Russian troops in his country, but the Russian military base in Gyumri remains intact. Both states agreed in 2010 to extend the lease of the base until 2044.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
