Artak Zakaryan: Russia will take action in case of Azeri aggression against Karabakh

Russia will view Azerbaijan’s aggression against Nagorno Karabakh as a threat to regional stability, said parliamentarian Artak Zakaryan, member of the Republican Party of Armenia.

“Russia will take action. Moreover, if something threatens Armenia’s security, Russia will not stand aside,” Zakaryan told a news conference in Yerevan.

As to possible sale of Russian S-300 missiles to Azerbaijan, he noted it will not have any impact on Armenian-Russian relations.

“This move can be viewed as a counterbalance to Armenian-Russian developing strategic partnership aimed to secure stability in the region,” Zakaryan said.
