Armenia's deepening military ties with the US, marked by joint exercises and potential nuclear cooperation, triggers a furious response from Russia as it grapples with dwindling influence in the region.
An ongoing joint military exercise involving a comparatively small number of American and Armenia n troops at a base in the Yerevan suburbs has caused a paroxysm of rage in the Kremlin. The 11-day joint exercise, dubbed Eagle Partner , will run through July 24 and is intended to boost the “interoperability between the US and Armenia during peacekeeping and stability operations,” according to a report distributed by the US European Command.
“The appearance of the Americans in the South Caucasus, we have already seen this repeatedly in various parts of the world, will only fuel the conflict potential persisting in the region, and create new dividing lines, … not only dividing lines, but also hotbeds of conflict,” the official TASS news agency quoted Zakharova as saying July 18. “Western countries are maniacally dragging Armenia into various formats of interaction in Transcaucasia,” she added.
