Several Russian MOD employees have handed in their resignations. Among the resigned is the Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of Russian MOD, General Andrei Tretyak. There is no information about the reasons of resignation, Russian media reported.

This June Eurasianet.org website published an article presenting Tretyak’s viewpoint on Karabakh conflict and Russia’s role in the region. The general stated that Russia’s refusal to intervene in Kyrgyzstan cannot serve as a precedent for Karabakh, as that was a very different situation. Tretyak also made clear that Russia will carry out its promises to Armenia, the website wrote.
