Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan also expressed condolences over the death of Russian troops in Syria. Press office The Russian Ministry of Defense cites a response statement by the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense:

For us, it really was such an act, almost a betrayal, I would call it that. Because we did not expect such actions from people who declare to the whole world to participate in the antiterrorist operation against ISIL and other terrorist organizations in Syria.


Sergei Shoigu noted the fruitful cooperation with Armenia in terms of joint activities:
I must say that, thanks to your efforts, the efforts of the Russian military - our friends, 2015 was a special year. All military cooperation activities are completed.


According to the Armenian Minister, Armenia and Russia have reached an unprecedented level of trust and cooperation.

    And all the CSTO except Armenia turned its back on Russia in the conflict with Turkey. It seems that out of the entire former USSR, Armenia alone in Russia’s allies remained. What would then not strengthen the present ally? Right.

          Sorry friends for reposting myself - I found my own post for December 6 - just here in the subject

          "... the president of Kazakhstan said that the Russian plane carried out tasks of bombing terrorist positions and did not threaten Turkey's national security ..."

          But our NAS will not be able to scold the Turks strongly, because I have always been in the Eurasian Union "deputy for Turkey" - in fact, the Russian Federation had the idea of ​​being friends with Turkey and even somehow tearing it away from NATO - and our NAS, in my opinion, had the role of a bridge

          But if it comes to a real choice - then there can't even be a conversation - KZ will never "choose Turkey instead of Russia." With the Russian Federation, all integration processes have already gone far, we are in a military alliance, and even air defense are united, and a common border of thousands of kilometers is open and which cannot be closed for a long time already united us with the Russian Federation even before the initiatives of NAS and Putin

            Talgat, an outright "disinformation" has gone from the Belarusian site. Like, except for Armenia, no one supported. So the wave went.
            In fact. After the deployment of the base of the Russian Federation with a clear strengthening of it, the Armenians were obliged to give a speech. Since it stands on the borders of Turkey. We are already talking about raising prices for Turkish goods.
            Erdogan by his actions "drowned" his own idea of ​​a "Turkic world", since in the Russian Federation there are many Turkic peoples. And no one from the Turkic peoples of the USSR will destroy the alliance with the main ethnic group of the Slavs - Russians. Therefore, these assaults on Aliyev and went. Apparently the Turks influenced the relations between the Yankees and Azerbaijanis. Therefore, they no longer take into account the opinion of the Turks and begin to set fire to Baku. There are no friends on the western borders of the Russian Federation, except for Minsk and the enclave in Kaliningrad. Serbs under US pressure and EU temptations. Azerbaijan lies behind Georgia. And then, only our dear Kazakhstan will remain. They are unlikely to shatter the Mongols, Chinese and North Koreans. These are all the land borders of Russia. And AVT is surprised that the West does not give us loans. hi
            Erdogan makes you make a tough choice between Istanbul and Moscow, and miscalculated greatly. And how all is well with Turgut Ozal and Demirel began. Although he was a friend of Thatcher, he became infected with the idea of ​​making friends (the Turks are the only Turkic people who were outside the USSR). Then the NAS got to EBN with this idea, but it kept its nose to the West more; everything went well with the GDP, but this ... radish ... (profanity - in any other way). hi

              Azerbaijan seems to have been pulled over by Russia. The Americans impose so severe sanctions against Azerbaijan that Azerbaijan has no option but to work with Russia or Turkey. Turkey is actively pushing Azerbaijan to promote the Karabakh conflict. Russia still manages to straighten Aliyev’s brains. And he does not seem to be eager to get under the distribution with the Turks. But a coup initiated by pro-Turkish forces inside Azerbaijan may well take place, and these forces are rather big there.

              Kasim agrees

              - Desa

              - Erdogan himself drowned the idea of ​​a "Turkic world"

              - Kazakhstan Mongolia DPRK and even China are now the most reliable borders of Russia - in the West as always (or rather, as before the Great Patriotic War)

              - It is a pity that the National Academy of Sciences failed to bring the Turks closer to Eurasia

              In general, if Azerbaijan begins to move in our direction from Turkey, this is very good, and besides political and economic reasons - there is also spiritual - ideological

              after all, the Turks are not their only relatives - in the east and north the same Turkic peoples are related to Azerbaijanis - and there are many of them not only us, but also Kyrgyz and Turkmens and many peoples of Russia.

    For us, this, indeed, was such an act, almost betrayal, I would call it that. Because we did not expect such actions at all from people who declare to the whole world participation in the anti-terrorist operation against ISIS
    request You would think that the IS gas tankers drove to Turkey only after the downing of our bomber. And in Turkey they started training the militants only after this event. And the supply channels for arms and ammunition also worked only after that incident. And before that, neither Syrian intelligence nor Our SVR could not detect anything suspicious. Why make such statements ..? Is this the policy?

    What could be the behavior of Armenians in the Byzantine Empire, if half of the emperors and generals were Armenians \ look at YouTube (the death of the Byzantine Empire) \. As for the Ottoman Empire, the Armenians raised an uprising on their land to help the Russian army. But the Bolsheviks surrendered.
