Turn to the West: Armenia considers it inappropriate to conduct CSTO exercises on its territory

Armenia's turn to the West is becoming more and more obvious. More recently, Nikol Pashinyan criticized Russian peacekeepers for their alleged inaction in the Lachin corridor. Now Yerevan refuses to conduct the CSTO exercises "Indestructible Brotherhood-2023" on its territory.

It is worth noting that the above-mentioned maneuvers were agreed upon by the members of the organization in advance and were supposed to take place this year. However, the Armenian Defense Ministry declared their inexpediency, about which the department informed the CSTO Joint Headquarters in writing.



Commenting on the actions of the Ministry of Defense, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that at least this year the exercises will definitely not take place.

We consider it inappropriate to conduct exercises in Armenia in the current situation

Pashinyan stressed.

At first glance, it may seem that the Armenian leader is thus trying to put pressure on his allies in the CSTO, in particular Russia, and "spur" them to more decisive actions to resolve the situation in the Lachin corridor.

However, if you pay attention to Pashinyan's New Year's speech, then the conclusion suggests itself that the Armenian prime minister is frankly "flirting" with the West.

In particular, the politician noted that from May 2021 to September 13, 2022, Yerevan’s security allies (obviously meaning the CSTO) took the position of an observer, leaving Armenia face to face with its geopolitical opponents.

At the same time, Pashinyan thanked certain international organizations and individual countries that, unlike Armenia’s allies, “remained indifferent” to the problems of his country, but at the same time they are not bound by any obligations with Yerevan.

          What does he want back? Armenia has not yet recognized Karabakh. This is the first. Secondly, when Azerbaijan started the war, how did Armenia help Karabakh, besides screaming to introduce Russian troops? Troops, weapons?

            What does he want back?

            Lost lands.

            "Armenia has not recognized Karabakh until now"

            Yes, I didn't acknowledge it. And at one time, he voiced the reason. Like they were afraid of the imposition of sanctions and a negative reaction, you know who.

            "Second, when Azerbaijan started the war, how did Armenia help Karabakh, besides shouting to bring in Russian troops? With troops, weapons?"

            It's like that. But they want to return. Here, too, one can see the desire to sit on two chairs at the same time. And return the land, and stay clean in front of the West. Do the dirty work with someone else's hands.

            In general, the Armenians call that region Artsakh, because Karabakh is the Turkic name Black Garden.
            Yes, dividing the land there, oh, is not a grateful thing, nearby Iran and the Persians can also fit in a little.
            Moreover, such a smallness is found that there are many Azerbaijanis in Iran and there are already rumors that the Azerbaijanis need to unite within the framework of the great (and how else) Iran.
            They are rumors, as the Korean proverb says - the truth is that a rumor will not come out of the gate and the walls will not stop.

It is not in vain that the Turks are building a military base on Ararat, and the patriots of Armenia are blocking ours and protesting in Gyumri. Result will not keep you waiting.

      In advance, it was necessary to return the Armenian "builders and traders from Russia to their historical homeland, Armenia. Maybe now no one was talking about a turn to the west. And Pashinyan was not in power. Even the Armenians fool become more cunning than the Jews ... The most cunning of the Armenians turned out to be Pashinyan ... wassat

        This Pashinyan for Armenia will turn into the same disaster as Gorbachev for the USSR and Yeltsin for Russia. Only if Russia, having sufficient human and natural resources, backed up by the presence of nuclear weapons, was able to stay on the edge of the abyss, then Armenia will never rise on steamed eggplants and squash caviar. It still exists thanks only to the favorable attitude of Russia and Iran, which does not want a significant strengthening of Turkey on its border.
        Those who make friends with mattresses always and unequivocally receive war and devastation on their territory, which history has repeatedly confirmed, but for some reason the Armenians are not friends with history.

    Russia has long needed to withdraw its troops from the territory of Armenia.
    And let the Armenians conduct "exercises" with the troops of Azerbaijan and Turkey. Those will quickly teach them where the Armenians have friends and where the enemies are.
    ps Russia does not have a common border with Armenia. And there are practically no Russians left in Armenia. As well as the Armenians themselves, who moved to the Russian Federation in large numbers.

If it were not for the base in Gyumri, Armenia would be thrown to the figs to be devoured, a state that, in principle, is not capable of existing without Russia, but is dressed up like Kazakhstan.

Why all these exercises on the territory of Armenia? To hold another biathlon? Window dressing with a review of ironed soldiers? There, there is a SVO, send your fighters there, crews of tanks without identification. NWO is a time of change, it's time to finish with parades and biathlon. imha. I apologize for being emotional.

    Our managers in the government and other state institutions cannot do anything about such phenomena because they themselves are the product of Western education in the field of political science, management and other ringing rubbish. They study at management academies, where they are trained by Western-patented fraudsters. But Comrade Sudoplatov and many of his other remarkable contemporaries were brought up by Marxist-Leninist theory and workers' universities. And they would solve this problem. They, real internationalists, also solved more complex problems, approaching them from the point of view of dialectical and historical materialism and relying on the foundation of scientific communism. The world lives by simple laws. According to these laws, a Poshenyan is an enemy. But there are also true friends. It is necessary to help real friends and punish enemies.

    Well, let it unfold. Armenians deserve their government.
    Only after they are bent over and they howl, then introduce a ban on moving to the Russian Federation living in Armenia, both citizens of the Russian Federation and non-citizens, including relatives of Armenians already living in Russia.
    Unfortunately, this will not work, either because of our eternal "humanism" towards the offended and deprived, or the thirst for profit of officials who will have another opportunity to enrich themselves by "helping" Russian Armenians take their relatives to their place. Let them be accepted by the United States and France, where there are already quite a few of them.
