On February 1, on the initiative of the Russian side, a telephone conversation took place between the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia Vagharshak Harutyunyan and the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Sergey Shoigu. The heads of the defense ministries of the strategic allied countries discussed the results of the staff talks on Armenian-Russian bilateral military cooperation held last week, as well as the process of resolving Armenia's security issues in the post-war period.
The RA Minister of Defense Vagharshak Harutyunyan expressed satisfaction with the activity of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno Karabakh, noting that the best evidence of its effectiveness is the almost complete observance of the ceasefire, due to which no serious incidents were registered in December and January, except for wounding one serviceman.
Vagharshak Harutyunyan and Sergey Shoigu also discussed issues related to regional developments.
