Armenia-Russian relations have intensified compared to past years,
the head of Hay Dat Bureau Kiro Manoyan believes.
"The uncertainty in bilateral relations was caused by a new RA
government-initiated policy. However, extension of Russian military
base deployment in Armenia proves activation of RA-RF ties," he noted,
expressing concern over the rush, with the deployment term expiring
no sooner that 2017.
"Russia is attempting to strike a balance between military
collaboration with Armenia and Azerbaijan as a way towards Karabakh
conflict settlement. However, solely Russia's activity in the region
can be dangerous. U.S. and Europe's involvement is also necessary in
preserving regional stability," the head of Hay Dat Bureau concluded.
