Davit Tonoyan demanded from the Commander of the 102th base to present detailed information about the incident. Vladimir Yelkanov reported that the drills were included in the 2018 combat readiness program of the base, which was agreed upon by the Armenian side, and Armenian authorities have been notified about it.
Nevertheless, taking into account the fact that they didn’t consider the possible inconvenience of the locals, the Russian side formally apologized and assured that it will be consistent in notification and planning of events outside the Russian base.
Russia’s Chargés d'affaires a.i. and military and air force attaché were present at the meeting.
