YEREVAN, AUGUST 24, ARMENPRESS: The prolonging of the contract on
the Russian military base in Armenia signed between the Armenian and
Russian Presidents ensures the security of Armenia, but only from the
viewpoint of confronting the Turkish-Azerbaijani military-political
alliance, specialist of Turkish studies, political analyst Hakob
Chakryan said today at a news conference.
"The Turkish press writes that Baku is in panic today, but there is
no word about the response of Turkey. Ankara is very calm, which
gives place for thinking," Mr. Chakryan noted. The specialist of
Turkish studies attached importance especially to the circumstance
that Russia has been and remains the strategic partner of Armenia,
which allows suggesting that we can trust the Russian party. "This
contract is of regional significance," Mr. Chakryan said.
According to him, thanks to this contract Armenia will not become a
target of military activities, but the political pressures are not
excluded to grow. "In case of bigger countries such a contract might
make the given country a target of military activities, but we do not
have that issue in case of Armenia. We must be afraid of becoming a
target of political pressures," Hakob Chakryan said.
