Alexander Iskandaryan, director of the Caucasus Institute, said that Russia and Armenia formed security system based on common interest. Armenia has no other country to replace Russia in the light of Turkey’s being member of the NATO, unsettled Nagorno-Karabakh and lack of relations with Azerbaijan.
