Armenia’s leadership hasn’t recognized Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and hasn’t considered the opportunity of integrating Artsakh into the composition of Armenia. This is what Russian academician Fyodor Voytolovsky said during today’s geopolitical discussion entitled “Armenia and Russia: Imperative of a New Strategy”.

“Armenia has never officially addressed Russia for assistance,” he emphasized, adding that Armenia needs to officially address Russia for military aid in order to use the forces of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.

“Russia has a military base in Gyumri, which serves as a serious guarantee for Armenia’s security,” Voytolovsky said.
