YEREVAN, December 22. /TASS/. Almost all defense cooperation agreements between Russia and Armenia have been fulfilled efficiently and on time, Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin said in an interview with TASS.

"Bilateral defense cooperation based on the agreement signed between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia on June 25, 2013, has a long tradition. Almost all such agreements signed earlier have either been fulfilled, efficiently and on time, or are in the final stages of implementation," the Russian diplomat said.

Also, Moscow and Yerevan are discussing the signing of additional agreements, Kopyrkin emphasized. "New agreements in the sphere of defense cooperation are being discussed between our countries," he said, adding that the relevant government agencies of Russia and Armenia were currently resolving all relevant working nuances.

Earlier, Yerevan said that, although it still has not received Russian weapons that it had already paid for, it was ready to address the issue in an atmosphere of partnership. The Armenian authorities also announced plans to diversify the South Caucasus country’s weapons purchases. In particular, the former Soviet republic recently initiated active defense cooperation programs with India and France.
