YEREVAN, OCTOBER 17, ARMENPRESS. At this stage there is no threat to Armenia from the rapprochement of the Russian-Turkish relations, Director of the Caucasus Institute, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan told “Armenpress”.

He said currently Russia and Turkey have favorable and developing relationship.

“Obviously, the Russian-Turkish relations are other format, the Armenian-Russian relations are another. I consider unlikely to wait that the existing issues in the South Caucasus will be added to the issues existing in the Russian-Turkish relations, I don’t see any reason. At this moment I cannot imagine Russia’s and Turkey’s cooperation concerning Armenia”, he said.

Iskandaryan said these two countries are concentrated on issues which are important for both of them. In particular, the relations with the West, the developments in Syria, issues related to Kurds, security issues, Turkish-American and Russian-American relations and etc.

“Yes, currently there is no threat to Armenia from the rapprochement of Russia and Turkey, but it is necessary to follow those developments acting in a rational way. If a stage comes, when there will be a threat, then to respond, if a situation comes from which we can benefit, again to respond”, the political scientist said.

Referring to the CSTO Council’s session, the delay of the CSTO Secretary General’s appointment and the possible influence of Turkey and Azerbaijan on it, the political scientist said it is unlikely.

“Obviously, Russia has interests with Azerbaijan and Turkey, but not to the extent that the third country to have an influence on the appointment of new CSTO Secretary General. No, I consider it unlikely. The issue has been decided in Moscow”, Alexander Iskandaryan said.
