    Analyst: It is the military-political balance rather than the Russian
    base that defends Armenia against Turkey
    by David Stepanyan

    Friday, January 30, 18:03

    It is the military-political balance rather than the 102nd Russian
    military base that defends Armenia against Turkey, political analyst
    Saro Saroyan has told ArmInfo.

    "It is accepted in Armenia and Russia to present Russians and the
    102nd Russian military base as the only guarantor of Armenia's
    security. I think it is time to dispel that false stereotype. Turkey
    cannot undertake any aggression against Armenian people, disregarding
    the current military-political balance in the world. Such aggression
    will inevitably break the global balance and will probably lead to
    punishment of its initiator", says the analyst.

    Saroyan stressed that there are dozens of small states like Armenia,
    which also repose on balance. So, under the current conditions, the
    analyst thinks that Turkey may display aggression against Armenia only
    if that aggression is sanctioned by NATO. This will become possible
    only in case Yerevan suddenly spoils its relations with the West. But
    no such a thing is observed, fortunately.

    The analyst also points out the absolute lack of problems between
    Turkey and Russia and the current problems between Turkey and the
    West, particularly, the problems of Iraq, Syria, Kurds, and ISIS.
    "Therefore, Turks cannot simply attack Armenia for no special reason
    as much as they would like to do", he says.
    The 102nd Russian military base was officially deployed in Armenia in
    1995 under an Armenian-Russian interstate agreement.
