Expert: Middle East developments will add new shades to Armenia-Russia ties

According to the head of South Caucasus department at CIS states institute, recent regional developments will add new shades to Armenia-Russia relations.

“Past and future elections in South Caucasus (South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Armenia) and Russia have already caused significant change in regional situation,” Felix Stanevsky said.

“In view of current developments, a necessity will occur for Armenia and Russia to confirm their stance on conflicts in Syria, Iran and other troubled countries. Election of a new U.S. president and alteration of America’s position on Armenia and Azerbaijan may also affect the state of affairs,” the expert said, however, noting that stability in Yerevan-Moscow relations will remain unaffected.
