Armenia to be on the alert in Russian-Turkish ties development

PanARMENIAN.Net - The agreement on Armenian-Russian strategic partnership contains no clause prohibiting parties from cooperating with other states, Hay Dat Bureau Director Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan. Russia did not violate agreement terms, he said. There's no need to get into a "panic" for Russian-Turkish process; we just have to be on the alert as cooperation between Moscow and Ankara may develop into strategic partnership.



Manoyan also commented upon Richard Giragosyan's recent statement regarding Turkey's unwillingness to allow Russia to use its air space for providing supplies to Russian military base in Gyumri. "It's fantastic," he said, noting that Turkish Foreign Ministry had denied such statement. In the meantime, the speaker didn't find it real that Turkey may agree to such proposal.
