Gli emigranti russi a Gyumri armeno lamentano un’attenzione sospetta da parte del personale militare russo [translated]

Translated from Russian:

>One of the emigrees living in the city told SOTAvision that this evening he was stopped on the way from the grocery store by two men who introduced themselves as employees of the prosecutor’s office.

> “They quickly showed their ID, but I didn’t even have time to see what was written there. A neighbor came up, he was a former military man. When he saw the documents, he was immediately surprised. “Which countr’s the prosecutor’s office are you?” – asks them. They began to deny and change the topic. They offered to wait for the car and go to the police station on the territory of the Russian military base. We refused. We said that we were officially registered in this area, and the local police station was around the corner,” our source described the situation.

> According to him, the suspicious men, having heard about the official registration, ended the conversation and left.

> “It seems to me that they were more frightened not by our official registration, but by the offer to go to the Armenian police. By the way, I later showed the photo to an Armenian military friend, and he said that the one in the photo without a cap is a sniper from a Russian base. It’s not clear why they walk around the city and show their ID,” the eyewitness summed up the story.

> The 102nd Russian military base is located on the territory of the Armenian city of Gyumri. The agreement on its operation was recently extended until 2044. The number of Russian military contingent at the base officially amounts to about three and a half thousand military personnel.

> Earlier, the office of the Helsinki Civil Assembly in Armenia began to receive complaints from emigrees about surveillance by the Russian military. This morning it also became known that the Russian military kidnapped a deserter in Gyumri, who left for Armenia after refusing to serve.
