"The joint air defense agreement, signed between Armenia and Russia, contains no letter, word or punctuation mark regarding Nagorno-Karabakh", - Armenia
“The agreement contains no letter, word or punctuation mark regarding Nagorno-Karabakh” Eduard Sharmazanov told journalists after the RPA Supreme Body meeting Thursday.

He also noted that this system enables Armenia to take advantage of the wide opportunities of the Russian Air Defense system.

“The document is called a joint and not united air defense system agreement. If Belarus and Kazakhstan signed a united air defense system agreement, which has one leadership, Armenia has signed a joint system agreement. This means that the sides defend their sovereignty. It is no coincidence that we have crossed that path so that our Air Defense is managed exclusively by the Armenian Armed Forces”, he said.

According to him, under Article 3 of the agreement, having no common border, Armenia and Russia should create separate Air Defense system, which will be run by an Armenian official, who will be exclusively accountable to the Armenian President.
