With a Turkophil friend like Putin and a traitor PM like Pashinoglu, I wonder if Armenian people need an enemy?
Putin is friends with EVERYBODY, who buys the weapons, manufactured in Russia!
PECUNIA NON-NOCET.. is Putin’s devise.
He sold weapons to Azerbaijan not because he just wants to keep them in the orbit of Russia,but because Azerbaijan has oil money to buy expensive Russian weapons.
Prime Minister Pashinyan’s behavior brings to mind how some of Lincoln’s commanders were psychologically broken and rendered useless, after Robert E Lee defeated them in the American Civil War (1861-1865). They were good commanders, with good intentions, but found themselves psychologically paralyzed by the circumstances; and so, President Lincoln sometimes found it better to simply remove them from command, by a similar measure, it’s better to remove PM Pashinyan, because he has lost the confidence and trust of the People.
The BIG unanswered question is WHO next?
Sooooooo…my dearest Armenian Orthodox brothers( I am also an Orthodox devotee)…
Putin got what he wanted…Nagorno Karabakh( Arztekh).
Two are fighting…the THIRD wins( that is what we say in Greece).
Now Russian coal companies could transport the coal from DONBAS through Armenian territory directly by RAIL to Turkey.
Until now( that is what I read in the German Press) Russia was transporting the coal by rail to Abkhazia( which Putin also stole from Georgia) and then by ships to the next Turkish port.
Nevertheless, it is applaudable, that Putin helps by the recovering of the bodies and releasing of the captured Armenian soldiers.
Nagorno_Karabakh you, regrettably, will not get anymore as long as Russian “mirotvorzui”(peacekeepers) are there.
Once again a “Dorothea Schmidt-Wagner” comment and once again a jibe at the Russians and Putin, color me surprised. At what point do you moderate obvious shill comments? For about the tenth time, Doro, even assuming you’re totally right about Putin and everything (as if this was about coal which could be easily transported from the Donbas straighht to Turkey by ship, in case you missed that) – what have other countries done in the meantime? Even the lightest of sanctions by Germany or the EU against turboaggressive Turkey would have hurt their economy badly. And yet – nothing. So maybe concern yourself with your country first when it comes to faking sympathy. You know, the country that effectively built Turkey whether through millions of immigrants and their remittances, FDI, European association efforts, arms sales, the laughable “solution” to the migrant crisis that you “refugees welcome” people conjured or just plain foreign aid. And that’s just the last 50 years, let’s not look beyond that as we all know what lies there.
If we want to identify who wants to end us and who supports them, immediately after Azerbaijan and Turkey comes Germany. So spare us the act, please.
Your comment makes no sense.
Armenia’s parliament must have the last say on this.
Does Armenia’s “opposition” have any better ideas than Pashinyan’s?
If so, let’s hear exactly what they are.
Would the “opposition” stand up to Azerbaijan and Russia? How do we know?
Firstly, the Armenian Government ( exactly as the Georgians,Gruzinzui) did) ought to get RID of the Russian military base.
Pashinyan is much too soft! During the 44 days of war, Pashinyan and the President of Armenia BEGGED Putin to help his ORTHODOX brothers.
Did Putin help the Armenian Forces? NO!
He referred to the Contract for Mutual defense, signed between Russia and all other CNG( Soyuz Nezavisimuix Gosudarstv), saying Russia can not fulfill her obligations according to this contract as Azerbaijan did NOT attack Armenia proper.
This is not true as even a Russian helicopter was shot over Armenian territory.
Get RID of this Pashinyan, Armenians!
Hopefully, the opposition will have the courage as the Georgians and the Ukrainians to throw all Russian soldiers out of Armenia.
Last night I watched a video, made by Radio Freedom in YEREVAN, need ” The Life of a Migrant!”
The Armenian migrants are very poorly paid in the Russian Federation and very poorly treated.
Ukrainian citizens can travel already to the European Union WITHOUT visas and many are here, in Germany. If a company needs them, exactly as in the USA they can get a Green Card…H B2 in the USA(work$live visa for two years).
ARMENIA belongs to EUROPE!
Ukraine and Georgia already signed an Association Agreement with the EU and American troops are in Georgia&Ukraine to train their militaries,so that Putin does not steal more of the their territories.
As Dave says, would the opposition stand up to Azeris and Russia ?
I would add: with what resources ??
No resources.
Hey, ZAVEN! I am NOT a German, but a GREEK lady, living in Germany!
As I wrote in my previous comment, I am ALSO devoted to the Orthodox religion.
So.. what you do not know is, that DONBAS is heavily sanctioned by the EU&USA.
Therefore Russian mining companies buy the coal from the mines in Donbas, transport it to Sukumi, Abkhazia, and then ship it to Turkey as coal from the Russian Federation.
Yes, YOU are right…there are many Turkish “Gastarbeiter” in Germany, but there are also 3,7 million RUSSIAN immigrants, who already turned Germany into a Russian colony.
NO! When the coal is transported by ship from Sukumi, Abkhazia to Turkey DIRECTLY, there is ALWAYS a danger, that the USA Navy will find out, the cargo is SANCTIONED( illegal) and SEIZE the ship.
When Russian goods( many of them like weapons, sold to war zones, are ALSO sanctioned by the EU&USA because of the Annexation of Crimea&Donbas) are transported through Armenia, the EU; USA can not size the cargo of the trains!
HEY, I actually wrote Mid-October a letter to Putin on http://www.kremlin.ru, begging him to help Armenia in the war with Azerbaijan! Doyou think I, as a Greek woman LOVE sooo much the Turks?!
I told Putin, he is right by saying according to the Contract of Mutual Defense with Armenia,he is obliged to help Armenia ONLY, if there is an attack on Armenia PROPER.
Nevertheless, I wrote to Putin, you could deploy your WAGNER Division( Battalion ) of mercenaries to Armenia.
WAGNER Mercenaries are a Russian PRIVATE Army.
Soooooo…you think, that GERMANY wants to END Armenia? Do you know how many Armenians live in Germany? Thousands of them!
Germany has a leading position in the European Union and wants to EXPAND the Union.
NOT that I hate the Russians and Putin( they are also my Orthodox brothers), but WHAT can Russia offer to Armenia?
What INVESTMENT did Russia bring to Armenia? HOW many factories; IT companies in Russia opened in Armenia? How many freeways; railways; airports Russia built in Armenia during the last 26 years since Armenia became independent?
The Russian Federation is a huge country, with very big territory and it has to build soooooo many freeways and roads on its OWN territory.
There are no “migrants” in Germany, but IMMIGRANTS, who stay here for good!
I read the Russian press every night( po-russkom) and the Russians speak about “migrants”.
Certainly, you are Russian.
