A war against Iran will be disastrous for Russia as it will lose
its military base in the Armenian city of Gyumri, according to the
Russian news website Newsru.com.
According to the website, Russia is currently preparing for a possible
war in Syria and Iran - both Russia's long-standing allies.
It also said that the Kremlin has been informed that Israel - backed
by the US - will soon attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
"If the war against Iran really starts, then it threatens to be
disastrous for Russia in the sense that it will lose its strong
foothold in South Caucasus - the 102nd military base in Armenia,"
the website wrote.
Further, it said that Russia started to take measures to minimize
losses in case of a war against Iran.
"Now the preparations are almost over. The military base in Armenia
has been completely optimized; the families of the military officers
have been recalled, the number of the Russian garrison near Yerevan
has been reduced, while the military detachments have been moved to
Gyumri - near to the Turkish border," the website wrote.
Further, it said that a possible attack on Iran could come from Turkey.
