Replace Russian Soldiers in Armenia with Greek Observers?
American critics and Turkish propagandists continue to criticize the Russian troop presence in Armenia.
They claim it is evidence that Armenia is a Russian satrapy and hostile to Western interests.
It is an argument false on its face and ignorant of history.
The Russian military presence in Armenia dates back to the end of World War II, when the Red Army established a base in Gyumri.
- The 261st Rifle Division was initially housed at the base.
- After the Cold War began, Soviet Armenia and Nakhchivan's border with Turkey became one of only two borders shared with NATO.
- The unit was redesignated as the 37th Rifle Division and then the 127th Motor Rifle Division.
