YEREVAN. – An Armenian analyst disagrees with the view that the Patriot missiles in Turkey pose a potential threat to Armenia. 

“The Turkish Patriots pose no to real threat to Armenia,” military analyst Arkadi Grigoryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on the statement that was made by Anatoly Kornukov, former Commander of the Russian Air Force.      

As per Kornukov, the aforesaid missiles, which Turkey has deployed along its border with Syria, are primarily directed against Russia and CIS countries—including Armenia. Also, the former Russian commander had noted that this situation threatens the security of Armenia.   

“We are close to the border. Azerbaijan is a supporter of Turkey. Armenia is under a threat,” Anatoly Kornukov had stated.
