102nd Russian military base in Gyumri celebrates Russia Day  

ArmInfo. Today, June 12, Igor Titov, Consul General of Russia in Gyumri, took part in solemn events dedicated to Russia Day at the 102nd Russian Military Base of the Order of Alexander Nevsky.

According to the press service of the Consulate General in Gyumri,   the head of the diplomatic mission delivered a congratulatory speech  to the servicemen, wishing them success in their combat training and  a secure home front.

"To a significant extent, this is your holiday—the holiday of the  defenders of the Motherland, our Russia.  Without you, without your  dedication, without your experience and military service, we cannot  imagine an independent, united Russia. It is you—commanders and  rank-and-file soldiers alike—who are responsible for maintaining our  country's security and preserving geopolitical stability in the  world. The future of our shared Motherland depends on us. Therefore,  each of us, at our respective posts, must work for the benefit of  Russia and defend its interests," Titov stated.

The events included a military parade, a wreath-laying ceremony at  the monument to fallen servicemen, and a traditional celebratory  concert.
