Khramchikhin: Attack on Armenia would also mean attack on Russia
Attack on Armenia would also mean attack on Russia, Alexander Khramchikhin, Director of the Institute for Political and Military Analysis (IPMA), told Svobodnaya Pressa describing a possible invasion of Turkey or Azerbaijan into Armenia. According to the expert, Russian military bases deployed in Gyumri and Yerevan “guarantee Armenia’s security in case of war not only against Azerbaijan but also Turkey”, Yerkramas newspaper said.
“If we attack Turkey, it will be war against NATO. However, we will never attack Turkey, it is clear. And if Turkey attacks Armenia and we have to save Armenia, it will be Russia’s and Armenia’s war against Turkey. NATO will not get involved in that war if only we do not start razing Turkey to the ground with strategic arms,”Alexander Khramchikhin said.
