Ah yes, the Russian program of “kapitulatzia” for Armenians and paradise for Turks and Azeris. In 1994, Russia forced Armenians to stop the offensive to save its loving baby Azerbaijan. In the Kremlin documents there was no “kapitulatzia” for Azeris where they had to leave the rest of the occupied territories of Artsakh.
In 2020, Russia orchestrated a fake “war” to humiliate Armenians and give victory to its loving baby Azerbaijan and steal Artsakh away again from Armenia for the second time in history. The war never even really started. No opportunity was given for any counter offensives, because Armenia had to sign the “kapitulatzia” outlining the most MORONIC conditions that Russia has come up with in its entire history.
And the purpose for giving up Berdzor? NO OTHER REASON THAN TO HUMILIATE ARMENIANS AND ISOLATE THEM! Our “ally” couldn’t even argue on behalf of Armenia that it is a stupid concept to give up one area and build another road from another area? Oh that’s right, silly me, this was actually Russia’s plan all along.
Armenia’s greatest misfortune was not Turkey or Azerbaijan. It was and is a vile evil state calling itself “Mother Russia”. We forgot their middle initial. “Mother F. Russia” is more accurate.
I see it the same way
And Armen Grigorian is absolutely right.
Let me cut to the chase, and be frank about it: the buck stops with PM Pashinyan; he lost the war against Azerbaijan; and, he capitulated to them. Under duress, PM Pashinyan made the wrong decisions, and he gave away the store. PM Pashinyan was defeated, and he lost his credibility, when that happened; regardless of whether he betrayed Armenia, he lost his credibility by losing a war, and then secretly giving away too much when he surrendered to the enemy.
So, PM Pashinyan is now a liability, an embarrassment, or even worse, and Armenia will be better off, the sooner that he’s gone. By the way, PM Pashinyan defunded Armenian Chess Grandmasters; now Grandmaster Levon Aronian might leave the country.
Laurence, When are you moving to Armenia and running for PM? What would be your first year and five year plans for turning the country around?
And so on and on efforts of ethnic cleansing continue.
Armenians are incapable of self-rule, especially in a violent and complicated place like the south Caucasus. This subject matter is therefore a waste of time and energy. Armenia’s natural place in the world today is with the Russian Federation. Armenia was resurrected in the early 19th century by the Russian Bear. For the past two hundred years, as well as for the past 30 yesrs, Armenia has been able to live in a violent, Turkic/Islamic neighborhood like the south Caucasus only because of its ties to the Russian Bear. Nevertheless, the post-Soviet years have revealed beyond any doubt that Armenians are NOT ready for self-rule or independence. The reality of the matter is that Armenia’s independence from Russia will only translate to Armenia’s dependence on Turkey. And if for any reason Russia decided to pull out of Armenia today, Armenia will disappear from the world map on the very next day, despite any effort by the diaspora. Armenians need to be mindful of the fact that on the global stage, the existence of an Armenia ONLY serves Russia’s and Iran’s interests and NO ONE else. Western powers, including the US, have been very detrimental to Armenia and Armenian society in general. If it is to recover from its post-Soviet ailments, Armenia must seriously limit its exposure to the toxic West. For better or for worst, Armenia is wed to Russia. Yerevan must deepen its ties to Moscow. Armenians need to start thinking about entering into a union with Russia. For better or for worst, Armenia must also maintain good relations with Iran. Armenia neglected it’s relations with Iran for the past 30 years. Yerevan must develop better ties with Tehran. All other so-called solutions or remedies for Armenia’s many ills today are simply a waste of time and energy.
@concerned armenian: what I don’t understand is both Azerbaijan and Georgia have built relations with the West since the end of the Soviet Union. Armenia is still stuck in the past and continues to double down on its relation with Russia.
When do we say enough is enough?
