In an article published in the Middle East Online, George Menshian, a researcher at the Athens Institute of Foreign Relations, described the alliance between the UAE and Armenia as opposition to Turkey.

The researcher believes that Armenia and the UAE are indirectly involved in the war in Syria. He explained that Armenia has sent non-offensive equipment to Russian forces and that the United Arab Emirates also supports Syrian Kurdish forces.

Noting that both the UAE and Armenia have good relations with the Syrian central government, the international affairs researcher spoke of an alliance between the two countries to counter Turkish military intervention in Syria.
