Michael Maloof: Russia modernizing base in Armenia
Russia is moving more troops and modernizing its base in Armenia in anticipation of the whole crisis in the Middle East from Syria to Iran, Michael Maloof, a former Pentagon official from Washington, said in an interview with Press TV commenting on potential risks for the Russian security to be caused by Syrian crisis.
“It’s making Moscow increasingly uneasy in terms of instability in the region of what Syria is just one aspect of a larger problem that the Moscow has now seen. For example, Russia is moving more troops and modernizing its base in Armenia in anticipation of the whole crisis in the Middle East from Syria to Iran,” said Mr. Maloof.
Michael Maloof said Russia has some major military assets in Syria itself that they’ll probably come in the play if the opposition continues to bombard.
