ArmInfo.. Chief of the Armenian General Staff Artak Davtyan is convinced that the situation in Syria and the confrontation between the West and Russia have a negative impact on the situation in the region as a whole. Davtyan expressed this opinion on November 22 during a meeting with students in Gyumri.
According to him, today in the region there is an increase in tension, since both of these factors, of course, affects the general atmosphere in the region. According to him, this is due to the fact that the immediate neighbor of Armenia - Turkey is involved in this process, and is fighting not only against the Kurds, but also carries out activities in Syria. "In addition, our other neighbor, Azerbaijan, continues militaristic rhetoric. Baku continues to develop its armed forces, thereby trying to put pressure on the Armenian people, the Armenian authorities in order to achieve certain successes or privileges in the negotiation process. But, the Armenian armed forces are doing everything to ensure the security of our borders, thus providing an opportunity for the leadership of the country to be more confident in the negotiations with the view that the Armed Forces will, if necessary, fulfill the tasks assigned to them ", Davtyan said. Speaking about incidents in the army, in particular about the last accident involving the army ''KamAZ'' Davtyan noted that the guilty of this regrettable incident will be punished.
