Armenia got funding and propaganda from EU and US, but not a single bullet

“If and when we lose Armenia” it will be direct result of the treacherous behaviour and actions of internal enemies who serve the interests of Russia. No one will even think of helping Armenia when Armenians themselves are destroying Armenia.

We are all driven by self interest, we are all subject to hope and naivety. One can’t exist without friends yes one can’t rely on them either. This also leads to misplaced faith in others as a saviour only to eventually find the bitter taste of disappointment. Becoming realistic about Russia should not mean becoming sentimental about any other country. Recent events have been a reality check. Russia was conceited to think that in letting Armenia down that it could still assume on their loyalty “they have got nowhere else to go” was a common sentiment in Russian actions, which are largely based on animosities and fears with Azerbaijan and Turkey. Armenia was naive to assume that as Russia only legal ally in the south Caucasus and being a powerful nation that it had its automatic backing and perhaps was a partial reason for not being prepared to make some compromises for a formal peace when in the advantageous position in 1994. The fact that Russia could in the confidence of Armenian loyalty and vulnerability, daliance with Azerbaijan and Turkey for its own interests and deem Armenia expendable was simply incomphensible and a naive presumption to many Armenians. Recent changes have led to an improvement in relations with Georgia but although resistant to Turkic pressures to take a strongly anti Armenia position, it refused to close its border with Armenia in solidarity with Azerbaijan in the first war had they done so Armenia would have lost, is clearly unwilling to jeopardize it’s relationships with Turkey and Azerbaijan for Armenias sake. Iran as an Islamic republic can only do so much for its Christian neighbour and cousin peoples and it’s contention with the west limits Armenian ability to draw closer without antagonising western nations such as France and USA who have become more supportive of Armenia lately. In turn under the Trump era Azerbaijan could ingratiate on the grounds that Armenia was Russia aligned and it’s own good relationship with Israel and the personal between Alyiev and Netanyahu. Nowadays it’s friendship agreement with Russia just before it invaded Ukraine the distrust the Biden government has towards Turkey and the poor personal relationship between Netanyahu and Biden and the cooler relationship between the USA and Israel from the extreme heights of the Trump era mean while in a more advantaged military situation politically are less comfortable internationally.
