PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia has no intention to attack Azerbaijan; however, Baku must realize that in case of hostilities against Armenia, Russian forces will be protecting Yerevan in accordance with agreements, a Russian expert said.

According to Andrey Yepifantsev, even in the case above, the nature of modern war doesn’t envisage automatic involvement of all available types of forces.

“Azerbaijan and Armenia have no common sea border so the probability of the involvement of naval forces in this case is rather ambiguous,” vesti.az quoted the expert as saying.
