YEREVAN. – President Vladimir Putin’s order to withdraw the Russian troops from Syria is a priority event in international news. But the more important thing is what implications this development will have on whom, Zhamanak daily wrote.

“The problem is not so much the presence-absence of the actual Russian armed forces, as much as the reasons and motives which led to such a decision by Putin.  

“It is extremely important for Armenia as to what impact the new development will have on the Syrian Armenians.

“At the same time, it is no less an important issue to Armenia as to whether Putin is withdrawing the [Russian] troops from Syria to regroup, so to speak, and use [them] somewhere else.

“There shall not be an unforeseen development, an unexpected development for Armenia. Armenia cannot afford the ‘luxury of being surprised,” Zhamanak wrote.
