Rovshan Ibrahimov Azerbaijani political scientist has commented on
signing of agreement on prolongation of Russian military base in
Armenia between Moscow and Yerevan.
'In fact, this visit is a routine visit of the Russian president to
Armenia. Furthermore, the next meeting of the CSTO, which includes not
only Russia but also Central Asian countries, as well as Belarus was
held in Yerevan. Thus, the signing of the agreement was "adjusted"
to Dmitriy Medvedev's visit', said political scientist Rovshan
Ibrahimov, commenting on the signing of a military treaty between
Russia and Armenia.
'Clearly, this is the strengthening of Russia's position on the
southern front, in this case in Armenia. And yet, this is more routine
than responding to an event response', - he said.
According to the analyst, in theory, Russia can provide some assistance
to Armenia in case of war in Nagorno-Karabakh, although officially
it is denied.
Asked how realistic the deployment of Turkish troops in Azerbaijan
is, the expert noted that, according to Azerbaijani law, placement
of military bases of foreign states is impossible.
"But, nevertheless, the military doctrine has some exceptions about
the cases in which it may be implemented. The protectorate of Turkey
over Nakhchivan under the Treaty of Kars is considered exceptional.
Therefore, in my opinion, theoretically the placement of the Turkish
military bases is possible in Nakhchivan", said the analyst.
R. Ibrahimov also pointed out that the signing of a treaty between
Russia and Armenia does not have any special significance for the
United States.
