"For years, the Armenian authorities have been handing out chunks of sovereignty to Russia, Iran, the warlords of Karabakh, France, EU missions, loudmouths from the Armenian diaspora, and fugitive oligarchs with a shady past. But this loss of sovereignty is alarming. It means that a country in conflict cannot fight and, what is more important, cannot make peace. The loss of sovereignty is the evidence of an inability to negotiate,” the author wrote.
The publication also emphasizes that Armenia is helping Russia to circumvent sanctions.
"Armenian entrepreneurs are also dissatisfied with Pashinyan. During the visit of the Prime Minister of Armenia to Germany, he was warned about the unacceptability of aiding Russia in circumventing sanctions. In 2021 Armenia's exports to the Russian Federation amounted to $840 million, but in 2022 it reached $2.4 billion, tripling in one year. Last year, 10 times more mobile phones were brought into Armenia than the year before. A large number of American companies refuse to supply microchips to Armenia, because they understand that they will end up in the Russian Federation for missile production,” reads the article.
"The last event that could not fail to attract the attention not only of political analysts but also of sports fans occurred on 14 April when the flag of Azerbaijan was publicly burnt at the opening ceremony of the European Weightlifting Championship in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan. It was burnt by an officially accredited person of the hosting party - the designer of the event and the chief stylist of the Public Television of Armenia, the channel that was broadcasting the event. Flag burner Aram Nikolyan is not a random troublemaker. He was seated in the front row. The security guards did not react to him, as he was one of the organizers. He managed to walk up to the girl who carried the flag of Azerbaijan (her outfit and placement had been chosen by himself), take it from her and set it on fire. The security guards of the event did not respond in any way to what was going on.”
"How should the West deal today with Armenia, which has become a puppet in the hands of Russian and Iranian puppeteers? In its current state this country is a threat to the entire region where Europe gets alternative energy resources instead of genocidal Russia. The West should stop treating the conflict in the region as a clash between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
This is a conflict between a Russian-Iranian puppet against a country on which the energy security of Europe depends. It is time for Europe to decide and to take sides,” the article noted.
