  1. Let Putin and Aliyev be friends. Armenians need only be friends with West.

    Nikol Pashinyan is national hero. He sacrificed Karabagh and eventually Zangezeur to be friends with West and brotherly Turks.

    I make so much money moving from beautiful Istanbul to Erivan and make so much money to have new Mercedes and wife in Toronto has new BMW

    Armenia must give up all rights, and get rid of Russian kartoshkas to be with West and brotherly Turks.

    1. It appears that a truck driver, possibly of Tatar-Turk origin, is transporting illegal substances from Istanbul to the “Erivan” and then laundering the illegal money in Canada. As a Canadian, I intend to report this to the RCMP for further investigation using your IP address.

  2. Dictator Putin’s recent visit to Azerbaijan has raised concerns about his intentions regarding oil and gas transfers from Ukraine to the Azerbaijani front. This development is anticipated to escalate political tensions in the South Caucasus region, with potential rivalries involving the US-led West, Iran, and Turkey.

    Internal issues in Georgia could potentially impact Armenian national security, as Armenia has limited flexibility to respond. Armenia needs to be prepared for any changes that may affect its national security due to internal and external threats. The FSB in Armenia is highly active and works against the Nikol Pashinyan government and its leadership.

        There is political instability in Georgia, due to democratic backsliding by the ruling populist Georgian Dream party and intermittent protests by the opposition against it – also against the potential rapprochement by the Georgian government with Putin’s Russia, which have been broken because of the Russian-Georgian War in breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and because of Russia’s recognition of them as independent states.

        Georgia indeed matters to Armenia, because it provides a land access for landlocked Armenia to the open seas and to the rest of the world. Since Armenia is surrounded by two hostile and genocidal Turkic archenemies, maintaining good relations with Georgia and Iran, and that both countries remain friendly towards Armenia and also internally stable, is very important for Armenia. In this sh##ty neigborhood, foreign policy is not a luxury, but a constant struggle of survival for Armenia.

  3. This so-called “peace treaty” would be a latter-day Munich Agreement imposed by Azerbaijan, Russia and Turkey on Armenia. Worse, the traitor Pashinyan is willing to acquiesce to the mutilation and emasculation of Armenia, by signing such a treaty.

  4. Finally more Armenians realise that Russia is happy to screw Armenia for the sake of more important relationships with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Georgia is an issue as if Russia consolidates it’s grip on it Armenia pathway to the west will be closed.

    1. And your alternative is what, Charlie?

      Nobody from the West is ever coming to Armenia’s aid.

      It’s hard to take you seriously about anything when you failed both your Geography and Maths exams at school.

      You are a failure at geography as you do not understand that genocidal Turks are on Armenia’s Western and Eastern borders.

      You are a failure at maths as you do not understand that 3 million Armemians cannot defeat 95 millions Turks.

      What is your game, Charlie?

      Armenia will always be with Russia because of geography.

      You are a fantasist to think otherwise.

      1. @Robert Whig
        Russia judges Azerbaijan and Turkey as more important to its interests than Armenia, geography and population maths shows that.

        It was nigh impossible for western countries to support Armenia when it was aligned with Russia.

        Until Russian expansion, it had been of little relevance to Armenia.

        Russia is busy in its proxy war with the west in Ukraine and unless it conquer Georgia and or Azerbaijan doesn’t adjoin Armenia

        It was Pashinyan derided by one as a coward and traitor by one whose government recognised Palestine despite Armenia drawing closer to the USA generally hostile to such endeavours and by doing so brought an end to the anomaly geographic too! of Armenia despite its poor relationship with Israel effectively taking a pro Israel position by declining to recognise Palestine and join the majority of UN countries in doing so maths too!

  5. Now Armenia is dictated terms to by Russia.This is what the Armenians get for the anti russian stance and allowing the trojan horse pashoglu to run the country. We lose artsakh and know they (the turks) want a transportation corridor through zangezur. America and the west will do zero for Armenia. They will keep as much influence as they can in Armenia – at Armenia’s expense – until they are forced to flee along with their hand picked traitor. What is left of Armenia at that point is still unclear. Poor leadership brought us to this point and allowed a weasel like pashoglu to take power.
