Moscow has a military base in Armenia and sees itself as the pre-eminent power in the South Caucasus.
YEREVAN: Armenia said today it would host a joint military exercise with the US next week, a development that Russia said was cause for concern.
A US military spokesman said 85 US and 175 Armenian soldiers will take part in the exercise. He said the Americans – including members of the Kansas National Guard – which has a 20-year-old training partnership with Armenia – would be armed with rifles and would not be using heavy weaponry.“Of course, such news causes concern, especially in the current situation. Therefore, we will deeply analyse this news and monitor the situation,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
