Pashinyan expels Russia to detriment of Armenian security
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Tuesday announced that he had refused to host Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) peacekeeping drills in Armenia — explicitly rebuffing Russian support not only to Artsakh, but the Republic of Armenia itself.

The START OF A GENOCIDE IS BEGINNING IN Artsakh , WHAT ARE THE Russians DOING , NOTHING.
yes we should ally ourselves with the people doing the genocide thats a better option
Artsakh was Armenia’s responsibility. Yet, those who abandoned it do everything they can to make it look as if it’s Russia responsibility. It’s also amazing how Armenians are always demanding independence from Russia but every time Turks attack they demand Russia protect Armenians. Cognitive dissonance and political illiteracy at its worst…
Armenia is on the road to genocide 2, compliments of democracy and westernization. Enjoy.
Western and Turkish shills do their best to twist and distort the realty. Russia wanted Armenia to return the 5 territories outside Artsakh proper so that it could make lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan and concentrate on the growing Western threat in Ukraine. Selling weapons to Azerbaijan was quite normal. If Russians did not sell, others would. Russia wanted to maintain leverage over Baku. Armenia was also receiving similar weapons at much-much lesser cost. Also, it was not Russian weapons that helped Azeris beat the Armenian side in 2020, it was Israeli and Turkish. At the end of the day, we created this historic mess in 2018 by putting into power a team of street activists that were clearly on the payroll of Western and Turkish interests. And then we preserved the toxic status quo in Yerevan in 2021. So, enjoy the fruits of Russophobia and westernization.
Nikol and his Western and Turkish financed team of Sorosites are simply preparing the field for the next war.
Whoopee. Absorption by Azerbaijan and Turkey as a means to belong to NATO.
Ms. Tahmizian Meuse, I cannot believe my eyes or my ears when I read your article. We must be living on two different planets! Your facts are inaccurate and your interpretation totally skewed, some might say totally distorted. First of all, the demonstrators surrounding the Gumri base were not Pachinyan supporters, they were members of Sassna Dserer and AJB (Ազգային ժողովրդական Բեւեր,) who are pro Western movement and were protesting against Russian inaction and for orchestrating Azeri aggression against Armenia and Artsakh. AJB want to claim through the international courts, the real de jure Wilsonian borders of Armenia, which would include Artsakh. They want a free democratic Armenia without being used as a bargaining chip by Russia, and they want international peacekeepers. If PM Pachinyan did anything right so far, it was stopping CSTO exercises taking place in Armenia. CSTO consisting of pro Azerbaijani co-religionist countries plus Tataro-Slavic Russia, who have done nothing to help stop the 44 day war in 2020, and nothing to open the Berdsor (Lachin) corridor to stop Aliev’s barbaric medieval siege against the 120,000 Artsakh population. The blockade of the corridor is likely to have disastrous humanitarian consequences, ethnic cleansing and genocide for the population of Artsakh. The Russian “peacekeepers” had undertaken the security of the Berdsor corridor – according to the 9 November agreement – a task in which they have failed abysmally. The CSTO “military exercises” were probably an excuse to keep the population of Armenia compliant with marshal law, and what was to stop them from carrying out a coup d’etat, bringing down Pachinyan, destroying democracy and installing a Russian puppet P.M? What happened to the ideals we grew up with? Azad Angakh Hayastan, The Treaty of Sevres and Hay Tad??
