YEREVAN. – Russia is a kind of security umbrella for Armenia, not
because the latter is better than the others or the two have mutual
affection.

The reason is no other organization would come here have take over
the role of CSTO, said the director of Caucasus Institute Alexander
Iskandaryan during the Moscow-Yerevan video bridge on Thursday.

“On the other hand Russia needs Armenia because should it “betray”
Armenia, Russia will lose the whole South Caucasus,” he added.
