Pro-Turkish analysts try to speculate over Armenian-Russian cooperation in US media


YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 27, ARMENPRESS. Though US official circles have adopted a rather balanced stance on the issue of worsening Russian-Turkish relations, there are calls on firm support to Turkey in that context by the American media and expert circles. Those calls might be of lesser direct interest for Armenia, if the calls did not contain passionate remarks over the reinforcement of the capacities of the Russian military based located in Armenia. The latest replenishment of the base is commented by those circles as “a step directed against the strategic ally of the US, Turkey”.

“Armenpress” reports that particularly such a viewpoint was expressed by Andrew Bowen, Senior Fellow and the Director of Middle East Studies at Washington-based “Center for the National Interest“analytic center in the American Washington Post periodical.

He starts his article quoting another article published on February 21 in Washington Post periodical by Gokhan Bacik, professor at Ipek University in Ankara, where the latter expresses alarm over Turkey facing all-round disaster, mentioning that Turkey’s “oldest and nearest enemy, Russia, expands its presence around Turkey: Syria- southern direction, Crimea and Ukraine-northern direction and Armenia-eastern direction”.

Bowen, finding himself in the role of the microphone of Turkish lobbyists, expresses concern that the deepening military alliance between Armenia and Russia is a threat for Turkey, which is an irreplaceable ally for the US. Interestingly, in his previous article over the worsening relations of Russia and Turkey, Andrew Bowen tries to somehow justify the policy led by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the context of the downed Russian jet.

“Sending a new batch of jets and military helicopters to an air base located 25 miles away from the Turkish border is the latest proof of the partnership”, the analyst writes. He mentions that the political and economic ties between the two states are deep rooted and are reinforced by a series of treaties and by the presence of two Russian military bases in Armenia (in fact the Erebuni air base is included in Gyumri’s 102nd base-“Armenpress”).

The American analysts “concludes” that though “Armenia has hailed the presence of several thousand troops and armaments, those developments escaped the attention of the American officials, who were busy celebrating Christmas, when to days before Armenia and Russia signed agreement on unified air defense (he refers to the agreement signed on December 23, 2015 between the Defense Ministries of Armenia and the RF on the creation of a unified regional air defense system-Armenpress)”.

At the end of the article Andrew Bowen, forgetting the incident of Armenia’s air space violation by Turkish helicopters in October of 2015, makes a strange and one-sided conclusion, in fact blackmailing Washington, “It’s high time for Washington to reconsider its real allies in the region”.

Azerbaijani media outlets: 25 residents of Gabala tried to cross border with Armenia

A group of residents of Ketuklu village of Azerbaijan’s Gabala district today arrived at Agdam district and tried to cross to the Armenian side. At the moment the 25 villagers were trying to cross the borders with white flags in their hands, the police surrounded them, the local media outlets report, citing the words of the village resident Ramin Ismayilov.

In the latter’s words, the reason behind the protest was the unfair treatment on part of the Nabiyev family.

“The Nabiyevs defamed and illegally arrested our children. Representative of Baku’s “Azerisiq” Gara Nabiyev, Adviser to Azerbaijani Tax Minister Musaver Nabiyev, representative of the village’s executive authority Ikram Nabiyev have taken our district under their control. They don’t allow us to live. They throw drugs into the houses and cars of the villagers and then order to arrest innocent people. We have enough of it, that’s why we tried to cross to the Armenian side,” Minval.az reports.

According to the information, all 25 residents of the village are currently in the police station of Agdam district. They demand that a representative of the president’s administration listen to their complaint.

The Agdam district police confirmed the fact of the occurrence.

Hungary was selling 24 Mig-29s with replacement engines for $43 million and they were ready to negotiate the price.
That's less than $2 million a jet..I don't know why we didn't give it a thought.
Does anybody know if they were sold or not?
