Pashinyan's regime launched provocations against the Russian base in Gyumri — Rybar shopping Mall

A campaign has begun in Armenia against the Russian 102nd military base in Gyumri. The pro-government channel published information that, allegedly on the instructions of commander Andrei Yudakov, campaigning among employees on the topic of parliamentary elections began.

The stuffing was predictably picked up by major Azerbaijani channels, which are particularly worried about the political fate of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. It is alleged that unit commanders are having conversations with Armenian citizens, persuading them to vote for Samvel Karapetyan's Strong Armenia party under threat of dismissal. Now the pro-government network is promoting the thesis of "interference in elections."

However, according to the authoritative Russian TC "Rybar", Colonel Yudakov has been in Moscow for about a month on official business, and the command of the base is carried out by his deputy. This is the first inconsistency of facts. In addition, there are only about 50 Armenian citizens on the base, the vast majority of whom have only a Russian passport.

Thus, the leadership of the base does not even have the tools of coercion that the propagandists of the Civil Contract party are trying to tell about. And the mood in the city is already extremely oppositional — even no imaginary intervention is needed.

"The servicemen in Gyumri admit that they are anxiously waiting for the period after the elections, when information provocations may turn into real ones," the authors of the Rybar TV channel write. — For the authorities in Baku and Yerevan, as well as for their Western partners, the Russian base has become extremely undesirable. So such stuffing three months before the elections indicates the seriousness of intentions, not to mention the nervous mood of the republic's leadership, which is afraid for its position in the elections."
