Russia has an important role in restraining Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression, according to Henaket Analytical Center head Tigran Abrahamyan.

“We should observe the domestic political developments in Russia (concerning Navalny and others) first of all in regard to the movements in Russia's influence in the region and in our security system in general,” he wrote on Facebook.

“In addition to the fact that Armenia has a task to harmonize common interests with Russia and bring bilateral relations to a new level in the post-war phase, Russia has taken on a new role in our region, one of the manifestations of which is the fulfillment of the Russian peacekeeping mission in Artsakh.

"Russia has an importance role in curbing Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression and in establishing lasting peace and stability in the region,” the analyst said, adding any process that could jeopardize Russia's role raises concerns.
