Russia and Armenia to create joint defense force in Caucasus

Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a proposal by the Russian government to establish a joint group of Russian and Armenian forces in the Caucasus region to deal with potential attacks on either country.


Following Putin's approval on Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry, together with the Russian Foreign Ministry, are to hold a series of talks with their Armenian colleagues and, when the work is finished, sign an agreement on behalf of the Russian Federation.

During the work, the military and diplomats are also allowed to make the necessary adjustments to the project with the consent of the two governments.
