Amendments to Protocols of Russian military base deployment in Armenia, stipulating for Russia's responsibility to defend RA border, will curb Azeri intention to stat a war, Armenian Democratic Party leader Aram Sargsyan stated.

“In accordance with Collective Security Treaty, in case aggression is displayed toward one member of the organization, other CSTO members are to secure protection for the country,” Aram Sargsyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

Commenting on possible actions of Russia in case of Azeri attack on Karabakh, RA Democratic Party leader stated that Moscow will not be able to intervene, yet can supply military equipment. At the same time, he noted, only Armenia, being NKR's protector, is entitled to Karabakh issue settlement. “In such a case, Armenian Armed Forces' military equipment level must be similar to Azerbaijan's,” Sargsyan stated, noting that Russia will support Armenia in this issue.
