    Not only that, but also Armenian border guard troops will participate in patrolling the border with Iran and Turkey.

    Here’s the translation of the relevant segment from the official statement:

    >An agreement was also reached that, starting from January 1, 2025, the Border Guard troops of the National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia will also participate in guarding the Armenia-Iran and Armenia-Turkey state borders. Moreover, the NSS Border Guard troops will fully take over the service at the Armenia-Iran border control checkpoint.

    >Prime Minister Pashinyan expressed his gratitude to President Putin for the service carried out by the Russian FSB Border Guard troops at the Armenia-Iran state border control checkpoint since Armenia’s independence.

  2. Love this! But how come Russia is okay with it? What’s the catch? What are they getting in return? Can someone chime in?

  3. This is such a minor development, almost insignificant if the database is still being synced with the russians. Why do we still need russians on borders with Iran and Tr? We gon’ get sabotaged real soon.

  4. Russia is simply moving its soldiers out of the way for when Azerbaijan attacks syunik.

    Aliyev has already gotten his population ready for an ideological war with the west. They’re going to attack syunik, get sanctioned a little but still keep oil contracts.
