Fighting efficiency of Russian military base plays restraining role – expert
Fighting efficiency of Russian military base in Armenia plays a restraining role taking into consideration a possible military aggression by Azerbaijan or Turkey, so its further strengthening will lessen the likelihood of provocations in the region, military expert Samvel Petrosyan told Panorama.am, while commenting on allocation of new areas to Gyumri’s Russian military base.
Mr Petrosyan noted that new military infrastructures will be created in those areas which have been temporarily provided to the Russian side, but did not serve a concrete purpose.
According to him, Russia is a strategic ally of Armenia and those infrastructures will serve the Armenian army if necessary.
