Lernik Alexanyan says the term extension of placing of Russian
military base in Armenia is a strait jacket for Turkey and Azerbaijan
YEREVAN, AUGUST 27, ARMENPRESS: In an interview with Armenpress Lernik
Alexanyan, member of the National Assembly and Armenian Republican
Party, considered the term extension of placing of a Russian military
base in Armenia a very serious and important step for our country.
`The extension of the term was of great importance in the sense that
our rivals understood that the Armenian-Russian cooperation is both
strategic and long-term,' the parliament member said, stressing that
it, of course, stems from bilateral profits. According to Mr.
Alexanyan, in that issue the profits of Russia coincide with Armenia's
and a choice of more correct step was just impossible in such a
situation.
Lernik Alexanyan attached importance to a provision of the contract,
according to which the security of Armenia will be defended. `By
saying security of Armenia we understand the Karabakhi security as
well,' the parliament member stressed, noting that one of the
important results of the contract is that the latter will be a strait
jacket for Azerbaijan and Turkey. `The Russian policy has always been
rough and distinct,' Mr. Alexanyan said, underscoring that both
Azerbaijan Armenia and Turkey know that. According to the parliament
member, Russia wants to grow its role in the region and the presence
of the Russian weapon and troops is a way of spreading influence.
`The growth of the Russian influence in the region is profitable for
us as well,' Mr. Alexanyan said, noting that Azerbaijan, of course,
will try to improve the relations with Russia, even will play the role
of an offended party. According to the parliament member, one thing is
clear, the role of Russia in the region will grow.
