/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The agreement on Armenian-Russian strategic
partnership contains no clause prohibiting parties from cooperating
with other states, Hay Dat Bureau Director Kiro Manoyan told a
news conference in Yerevan. Russia did not violate agreement terms,
he said. There’s no need to get into a "panic" for Russian-Turkish
process; we just have to be on the alert as cooperation between Moscow
and Ankara may develop into strategic partnership.

Manoyan also commented upon Richard Giragosyan’s recent statement
regarding Turkey’s unwillingness to allow Russia to use its air space
for providing supplies to Russian military base in Gyumri. "It’s
fantastic," he said, noting that Turkish Foreign Ministry had denied
such statement. In the meantime, the speaker didn’t find it real that
Turkey may agree to such proposal.
