TURKEY was accused today of a dangerous provocation after its troops joined Azerbaijani military exercises close to the Armenian border.
Armenian military spokeswoman Shushan Stepanyan said that Yerevan was closely monitoring “Turkish-Azerbaijani war games” which began today and will last until August 10.
Defence Minister Davit Tonoyan said that Armenian and Russian military units were analysing operations and were “prepared for any development of the situation.”
