Armenia’s border troops should fully perform their service at Zvartnots airport, the secretary of the country’s Security Council said.
Armenia has informed Russia of its intention to withdraw Russian border guards from Zvartnots airport in Yerevan. The Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan said this, News.am reported on Wednesday, March 6.
According to him, Armenia has its own position on this issue and its border troops should fully perform their service at Zvartnots airport.
“Armenia has a clear position on this issue and informed Russia about it in an official letter,” Grigoryan said.
Also, when asked why this question arose now, he answered that during the period of independence, Armenia was getting opportunities in different directions.
“Currently, Armenia has every opportunity to exercise full control over the airport,” Grigoryan concluded.
Earlier on Wednesday, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that there were no decisions on the withdrawal of Russian border guards from the Armenian Zvartnots airport, “no one brought these decisions to us through officials that channel.” In his opinion, Russia’s difficulties in Armenia “will pass.”
Let’s recall that in February the media reported that Russian border guards will soon be removed from the Yerevan Zvartnots airport. This is called a “political decision.” The deployment of Russian border guards in Zvartnok is regulated not by an intergovernmental agreement, but by a document signed by the National Security Service of Armenia and the FSB of Russia.
