YEREVAN.- The fact that U.S. relies on Turkey by placing NATO missile
defense, does not give Armenia reason for positive expectations, Giro
Manoyan, head of central Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) office, member of
ARF Dashnaktsutyun told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Manoyan said deployment of radars in Turkey will result in rising
tension in the region.
“Not only Iran, but Armenia also has reason for concern. Turkey is
the most trusted country for the United States in the region, which
means that Armenia will not have less problems, because Turkey is a
major threat for Armenia,” he said.
According to Manoyan, U.S. entrusted one of the pillars of its
security to Turkey which means relations between Armenia and U.S. may
be threatened. To avoid such developments, Armenia should give U.S. to
understand that Turkey remains a threat to Armenia.
Turkey and U.S. signed an agreement on September 14 to deploy early
warning radars as a part of missile defense system created by the
U.S. and NATO in Turkey.
