ArmInfo. Officers of the airbase "Erebuni" honorably cope with the tasks assigned to them, both educational and combat. The chief military and military-air attache of the Russian embassy in Armenia, Major-General Yevgeny Bulavintsev, announced this on March 17 in Yerevan at the "Friendship-2018" festive event.
"It is a great honor in the run-up to the presidential elections in Russia to be on the territory of the famous aviation base, officers who have both coped with the tasks assigned to them both in the past and at present with honor, both as educational and combat ones.
When our country faces a new challenge, when there are many of these challenges, when the country is accused of unknown crimes and attempts to violate the world order, I think this demonstration is just a readiness to withstand the blow, the willingness to stand and be open with our allies, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia", noted Bulanovtsev.
The commander of the Armenian-Russian joint group of troops Tigran Parvanyan stated that today is a significant day at the Erebuni airfield. "From time immemorial, the Russian and Armenian people went hand in hand and went forward, the proof of the fact that we are standing here are the military of both states, where the 102nd military base is carrying the service together with the air base," he said.
