Russia Boosts Military Presence in Armenia
- Russia is increasing its military presence in Armenia by bolstering its troop contingent at its 102nd military base near the city of Gyumri.
- A leaked memo from a Russian commander outlines the steps for urgent replenishment of the under-strength garrison at the 102nd base, with troops from units across the Southern Military District being redeployed by mid-June.
- Armenian officials initially denied reports of a troop surge, prompting Ukrainian military intelligence to leak the memo, which includes requirements for personnel selection.
- The troop surge is seen as a tactic to pressure Armenia amid escalating tensions and a geopolitical split with Russia following the Second Karabakh War and recent anti-government actions.
- Observers believe Russia's efforts to influence Armenia may be challenged by the country's shifting interests towards the West and a younger generation less swayed by traditional Russian narratives.
