It is a decided topic for Armenia, an attempt is being made to show the logic of withdrawing from some interstate agreement, but in reality it was an interdepartmental agreement, the purpose of which was to help Armenian peacekeepers in that area, referring to the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from “Zvartnots”, he said NA Speaker Alen Simonyan.
He noted that there is no need to lighten that burden anymore.
“We expressed our thanks and said that our peacekeepers will maintain the security of our airport. Now they say what if Turkey attacks… I have a very strong doubt that if Turkey attacks RA, Russian peacekeepers will protect us.”
To the question: is it possible to decide in the near future that the Russian border guards will leave the Armenian-Turkish border, Alen Simonyan answered: “No, there was no such conversation.” This is not the case. We need to fix one thing: as much as Armenia needed the presence of Russian troops, Russia needed it just as much, and please don’t sell it on us. It is necessary to “engage” with that thought.
