PanARMENIAN.Net – A military expert did not rule out the possibility
for deployment of Russia’s S-400 missiles in Armenia.
“Deployment of Russia’s S-400 anti-aircraft missiles in Armenia seems
quite logical, considering current developments in Iran, as well as
military partnership between Yerevan and Moscow,” David Jamalyan told
a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
“Armenia will only benefit from the move, gaining more protection.
Deployment of S-400 targeting Turkey will serve a restraining factor in
both Armenian-Azerbaijani and Armenian-Turkish relations,” Jamalyan
concluded.
As Press TV reported citing the Turkish daily Hurriyet, Russia is
installing an advanced anti-aircraft missile system in its southern
military region in reaction to Turkey’s deployment of a NATO missile
system.
Considering the lack of Russia’s land frontier with Turkey, it cannot
be ruled out that the missiles will be deployed in the territory of
Armenia, where Russia’s 102nd military base is stationed.
