D. Jamalyan: Russia has its own interests
The Armenian-Russian protocols stipulate that Russia is obliged to defend Armenia, military expert David Jamalyan told a news conference.
Asked to comment upon news on Russia’s supply of S-300 missiles to Azerbaijan the expert said that “Russia has its own interests and will try to retain its political influence on Azerbaijan.”
Jamalyan said that S-300 supply to Azerbaijan does not imply weakening Armenia’s security, meanwhile did not exclude that the missiles can be used against Armenia.
Armenia will have new arms in its arsenal according to the arms supply agreement that will establish balance, expert stressed.
