YEREVAN.- The fact that U.S. relies on Turkey by placing NATO missile defense, does not give Armenia reason for positive expectations, Giro Manoyan, head of central Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) office, member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Manoyan said deployment of radars in Turkey will result in rising tension in the region.

“Not only Iran, but Armenia also has reason for concern. Turkey is the most trusted country for the United States in the region, which means that Armenia will not have less problems, because Turkey is a major threat for Armenia,” he said.

According to Manoyan, U.S. entrusted one of the pillars of its security to Turkey which means relations between Armenia and U.S. may be threatened. To avoid such developments, Armenia should give U.S. to understand that Turkey remains a threat to Armenia.

Turkey and U.S. signed an agreement on September 14 to deploy early warning radars as a part of missile defense system created by the U.S. and NATO in Turkey.
