“The Russian military base in Gyumri may interfere, should the Azerbaijani leadership decide to restore jurisdiction over Nagorno Karabakh in a military way,” commander of the Russian military base #102 in Gyumri, Colonel Andrey Ruzinsky said in an interview with “Krasnaya Zvezda” official newspaper of the Russian Army.
“The military-political situation in the zone of responsibility of the Russian base remains unstable and is characterized by a number of destabilizing factors connected with the possible escalation of the situation at the Armenian-Azerbaijani line of contact. In line with the commitments of the Russian Federation under the Collective Security Treaty, the Russian military base in Gyumri may intervene in military actions, should the Azerbaijani leadership decide to restore jurisdiction over Nagorno Karabakh through force,” Andrey Ruzinsky said.
