A Russian general has expressed his country's commitment to support Armenian's in case of a war over Nagorno Karabakh, Eurasia.net reported.
General Andrei Tretyak, the Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the Defense Ministry, discussed the Russian military’s future plans with some analysts.
In a discussion on the situation in Karabakh, General Tretyak agreed with a participant’s assessment that the possibility of conflict in that region is high, but argued that it is gradually decreasing as a result of Russian efforts to reduce tension in the region.
He disagreed with the suggestion that Russia’s relationship with Armenia is eroding and made clear that Russia will carry out its promises to that country.
Tretyak also weighed in on Central Asia, and suggested that the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) could help fill the security vacuum that will be created by the US leaving Afghanistan.
