/PanARMENIAN.Net/ RA-Turkey rapprochement process is, undoubtedly,
a positive one and what’s important, is a result of both countries’
voluntary choice, head of CSTO International Information Support
Center Ramil Latypov said at Yerevan-Ankara-Moscow TV bridge on "New
Geopolitical situation in the East: Armenian-Turkish rapprochement,
problems and realities".

"Armenia is a CSTO member and we are, surely, concerned over the issue
of Armenia-stationed Russian military bases. Still we believe that
friendly relations between Armenia and Russia will allow to resolve
the issue without damaging Yerevan’s, Moscow’s or Ankara’s interests,"
CSTO representative noted.

He also added that Russia is opposed to armed conflicts in the
Caucasus. "Moscow supports RA-Turkish rapprochement and where’re
ready to assist both Armenia and Turkey to normalize ties," Ramil
Latypov emphasized.
