Chief Scientific Officer of the Institute of the USA and RAS Canada Vladimir Vasiliev commented on the statement by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova regarding the statement by US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien that Armenia wants to turn away from Russia. The diplomat called this position another example of geopolitical engineering, according to Alpha News.
"I fully agree with Zakharova's statement, because this is not only her personal opinion, but the opinion of the department, which relies on a broad information base. Currently, the United States is very actively trying to use Armenia to destabilize the situation in Transcaucasia. This is due precisely to American plans to set fire to or destabilize the situation on the external perimeter of the Russian Federation, considering that this destabilization can spread to the domestic political field of Russia," Vasiliev stressed.
According to the American expert, the United States is very actively trying to use Armenia to destabilize the situation in Transcaucasia.
"Washington has always pursued a policy of maximum delay or removal of the republics of the former USSR from Russia. This is the strategic direction of the United States. And even if these countries are not destined to be involved in the US military-political blocs, they can be used to create a buffer cordon around Russia, as it was in the 20s and 30s of the last century," the expert concluded.
It is appropriate to recall Maria Zakharova's words that throughout history Russia has repeatedly "lent a shoulder to the fraternal Armenian people" and intends to continue this in the future.
Moscow intends, but what about Yerevan, how do they react to the situation in the Kursk region, the terrorist attacks of the Kiev regime and the NATO pumping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to very dangerous proportions?
The author of the Telegram channel "Comrade General" answers a very reasonable question:
"DODIKI VS. RUSSIANS: ARMENIA LOSES THE BATTLE OF KURSK
The sympathies of the entire staff of Nikol Pashinyan are now, of course, on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, conquering the expanses of the Kursk region. Some particularly enthusiastic mouthpieces of the regime even switched to MOU. The rest practice wit, humiliating The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the Russian authorities, the Kuryans fleeing from death — in general, everything is Russian.
This Pashinyan support group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine prefers not to remember that Ukraine vigorously supported Azerbaijan in all its anti-Armenian manifestations.
When Armenians mourned 5,000 of their best children killed by Ilham Aliyev, Ukrainians hung banners in Kiev congratulating Azerbaijan. Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are killing "peaceful people" in the Kursk region, and the pro-government media of Armenia are hooting and hounding Russians.
By their mockery of the Russians, they again confirm the truth that someone from the outside should save, protect, feed and lull Armenia to sleep for Armenians, but not the Armenians themselves.
Well, for example, a pepper named David Jalalyan asks how the 346-kilometer section of the Armenian border is guarded by a state that could not protect its own. And that's it, Dodik. This is our tradition — while the Dodiks are fighting online, someone else is guarding the border of Armenia. The Russians. Europeans. Soon we will call the Turks to guard.
Dodiks have been yelling for 30 years that Artsakh is Armenia, and for the 31st year they are yelling that Artsakh is Azerbaijan. And Russians should save Artsakh. This is the tradition of the Dodiks.
Another such dodik demonstrates sarcasm, advising Pashinyan to send observers to the Kursk region to find out if the border is demarcated there. Funny, I don't have the strength. Dodiks think so.
In fact, the creatiffe they produce does not change anything at all in the world around them. Russia is not up to him now.
Meanwhile, the events in the Kursk region are just opening up a big window of opportunity for Armenia to prove itself as a mature and responsible country that remembers and appreciates partnership with Russia. Petty verbal revenge and stand—up at the state level are the lot of weaklings and losers who sublimate their own worthlessness with this.
It's time for Armenia to make a knight's move. To offer Russia allied assistance — not only humanitarian, but also military. In the form of equipment, ammunition. In the form of a medical landing. In the form of equipment for field camps. In the form of an invitation to Kursk refugee children to Armenia.
This, of course, is fantastic, given that the Armenian government is under the external control of the US State Department.
But it would be a step that is for the ages. This would bring relations between the countries to a cosmic level.
Pashinyan had enough common sense at one time to send "humanitarian aid" to the Turks suffering from the earthquake. He didn't even find a warm word for Russians in trouble. But he unleashed a pack of Dodiks on them.
But Pashinyan is not the whole of Armenia. Or is it already all over? Besides the Arbat battalion?
History should be taught, not falsified. The Russians will stand up, gather their strength, grind their teeth, swear at their generals and throw the enemy out of their land, even if this enemy is the whole of Europe, coupled with America.
And Dodiki will continue to steal from a gang of piglets selling mother Armenia."
