other

Gyumri is a city in northern Armenia that hosts Russia's only military base in the Caucasus region, the 102nd Russian Military Base, established in 1995 and extended until 2044. The city has been the site of incidents involving the 'Mother Armenia' memorial, which was vandalized on June 10, prompting a diplomatic protest from Russia. Additionally, a passenger flight operated by Russian airline Pobedita from Gyumri to Moscow made an emergency landing in Makhachkala due to a technical issue, with the aircraft signaling distress mid-flight and safely landing without casualties.
