According to Armenian sources, Turkey and Russia made a secret
agreement to let Russia use Turkish air space for transferring
equipments into their military base in Armenia.
According to the Pan-Armenian news website; Richard Giragosyan,
Armenia Strategic and National Research Center Chairman, made an
interesting claim in a meeting about the relations between Turkey and
Armenia.
Giragosyan claimed that opening the border between Turkey and Armenia
is profitable mostly for Russia and with a secret agreement, Turkey
let Russia to use its air space for transferring equipments to the
Russian military base in Armenia.
Giragosyan defended that normalization of the relations between Turkey
and Armenia is much more about the normalization of the relation
between Russia and Turkey. `After Russia-Georgia war, Russia was
expecting certain things from Turkey’ said Giragosyan. Last year,
Russia criticized Turkey a lot because of Turkey’s silent support to
Georgia during the war between Georgia and Russia
