ArmInfo.The observed aggravation of Russian-Turkish relations in connection with the latest impulses around Syria undoubtedly poses a threat to Armenia and Artsakh. A similar opinion was expressed by ArmInfo, the hero of the Artsakh war, Major General Arkady Ter- Tadevosyan (Commando).
"Recent events around Idlib contain the potential for destabilization of the entire region. Ankara is able to take this step, pushing Baku to another adventure against Artsakh. In any case, any attempt to destabilize the situation in the Artsakh direction will be rewarded with an asymmetric response from the Armenian side, which is not enough for the initiators of this destabilization will not seem, "he stressed.
The epicenter of active hostilities in the Greater Idlib region over the past two days has moved to the southern sector of the front in northwestern Syria. Russian and Syrian aircraft inflicted massive attacks on the positions of Islamist militants west of the city of Maarat al-Numan. All the last weeks, the forces of Bashar al-Assad conducted successful operations in the east of Idlib. Against this background, the parties continue to pull together reinforcements to the front line. Columns of Turkish technology go to Syria daily. Last week, the Turkish Armed Forces Leopard 2A4 tanks were spotted in one of these columns. At the same time, the major general, watching the development of events on the Syrian track of relations between Moscow and Ankara, most likely expects their normalization. According to him, despite all the lunges and muscle muscles of the Turkish president Erdogan, all this has its limitations. And he will not dare to final, open aggravation of relations with Russia. "Turkey is simply forced to exercise caution - its military potential, capabilities and, therefore, chances cannot be compared with the Russian ones. Especially, given that Turkey's NATO allies are not particularly eager to fight with Russia. In this light, I expect new negotiations between Moscow and Ankara with the aim of reaching a compromise on Syria. Including, given their common geo-economic interests, "concluded the Commandos.
