/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia’s suspending the Treaty on Conventional Armed
Forces in Europe will hardly tell on the situation in the region,
including the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenian
political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter. The problem is that Armenia and Azerbaijan are CFE members
and are obliged to fulfill the demands, according to him.
"As to the NKR, the republic has met the CFE requirement on voluntary
lines recently. The change of Russian flanking armaments will most
likely concern the regions bordering with Eastern European NATO member
states," he said.
July 14, 2007 Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on signed a decree
suspending the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. This
step was taken due to "extraordinary circumstances…which affect the
security of the Russian Federation and require immediate measures,"
the Kremlin said.
