In the footsteps of Ukraine: The Prime Minister of Armenia, during a speech in the European Parliament, announced a course towards European integration

Having retained power despite the events in Nagorno-Karabakh and the subsequent popular unrest in Yerevan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan today spoke in the European Parliament, making a number of high-profile statements.


In particular, the politician emphasized that his country’s relations with the EU are based on a single system of values. Moreover, Pashinyan emphasized that Armenia is ready to get closer to the European Union as much as the commonwealth itself allows.

I am convinced that democracy can provide peace, security, happiness and prosperity

- said the head of the Armenian government.

It is worth recalling that we already heard something similar in Ukraine in 2013. Then the Maidan happened, led by Ukrainian nationalists who also declared their commitment to democratic values. A little later, these “values” manifested themselves in the shelling of Donbass cities from artillery and aviation, which lasted for 8 long years.

However, even now “democratic and European-integrated” Ukraine continues to kill Russian people and destroy the infrastructure of our cities to the delight of its Western patrons.

Of course, one can assume that Armenia will take a different path and will not spoil relations with Russia. However, the facts rather indicate the opposite.

Firstly, Yerevan, which is a member of the CSTO, recently held joint exercises on its territory with the American army.

Secondly, in addition to his commitment to democratic values, during his speech at the EP, Pashinyan spoke about the hybrid war that was waged against his country starting in 2020, which led to the loss of Karabakh. At the same time, the Armenian prime minister accused his allies of a “conspiracy” that almost led to a coup in his country.

During the period when one hundred thousand Armenians fled from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia, our security allies not only did not help us, but also made public calls for a change of power and the overthrow of the democratic leadership in Armenia

- declared Pashinyan.

Regarding the allies, it is not difficult to understand who the head of the Armenian government had in mind, who has already repeatedly blamed Russia for all the troubles.

At the same time, like the current Kiev regime, the leader of Armenia does not provide any evidence to support his words.

      Is Armenia located in Europe? In my opinion, in Asia. But this doesn’t seem to interfere with European integration. Where is the border between Europe and Asia in 2023? People have changed it many times. You won’t understand right away.

        Kolya of Yerevan is driving a snowstorm! Who should be integrated there?! Grandmother Narine and grandfather Suren??? 80% of Armenians have long been integrated throughout the world, but at home there are old people, children and “Armenians” who are quickly finishing off the Armenian land!
        This is the clearest example, the same as that of the Khokhols, who over the course of several years enthusiastically dismantled nenka into its component elements, when the “Armenians” want to go to America so much that their teeth ache!
        Lord, will you save Armenia?

        In fact, this is a logical result of the main mistake in the formation of the USSR - the division into national entities-republics. It is clear that these were the realities of that time. But the history of the past 100 years has shown that this was a fatal mistake. The new iteration in the future should be exclusively unitary.
        China also shows by its example that a unitary state is more stable. But their problem is excessiveness in this matter, contrary to the socialist/communist idea. Namely: if you live in China, be Chinese. And not within the framework of healthy patriotism, but ethno-cultural - assimilate.

    And who from the CSTO did not carry out this, except for Belarus? Well, God is their judge, everyone. But Pashinyan is naive, like who knows who, that’s how he was integrated into Europe. They will feed him, like Georgia, Ukraine, with promises. He hopes, with all of Armenia ,move to Europe.Yeah.

      What does his country have for mobilization?! The whole fuss is about chopping someone off and prolonging their existence. In regional projects, Armenia does not have its own minerals and other valuable resources. Europeans don’t need her in the family either. Armenia’s only value for the West and Europe is as an irritant to Russia, and then as a springboard for Iran, Turkey, and a catalyst in the South (with further transition to the North) Caucasus. And this is again a dirty trick for Russia.

    Helping in Armenian means doing for them. That’s why they drag themselves to Europe to depend on them. They were based on European integration, it’s just that Karabakh was a burden for Armenia, so Pashinyan simply reversed the cause-and-effect relationships in order to whitewash his position and not look like he was openly bought by Europe.

      Yes, not even a burden, but the fact that Armenia, together with the NKR, will never be accepted into the European Union. Those who recognized the NKR are Abkhazia, South Ossetia and the PMR, which themselves are not recognized. Abroad, Nagorno-Karabakh is also recognized as a republic by nine US states: Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, Louisiana, California, Georgia, Colorado, Hawaii and Michigan, and even the Australian state of New South Wales.
      Artsakh is not included in the UN, the borders are not established by international acts, so how can such a territorial entity be accepted into the European Union?
      That’s why Pashinyan and his comrades don’t recognize independent Artsakh, he needs to join the European Union, and Artsakh is a brake. That's the whole story.

      And another amazing fact - Armenia, Azerbaijan, and at the same time Georgia were created by Comrade Stalin. And quite late - in 1936. Before this, these ancient peoples had, frankly, no problem with statehood.

    It's a pity that articles are not signed. If it were up to me, I would call this article “Oh, Kolya, Kolya, Nikolai, stay at home, don’t go out!” “During the period when one hundred thousand Armenians fled from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia, our security allies not only did not help us, but also made public calls for a change of power, the overthrow of the democratic leadership in Armenia.” Kolya, is it weak to list allies in the security sphere? And the fact that not a single shell, not a single bullet was fired at this mournful, without any irony, multi-day and many-kilometer column, does not tell you, Kolya, that it was Russia, at the cost of the lives of our guys, who secured this, I repeat , mournful exit. Once again I am convinced that a journalist is truly the second oldest. I haven’t read Pashinyan’s articles, but I think it’s the same crap that this bastard is doing to the country. I am sincerely sorry for what is happening to Armenia today. Perhaps this can be compared with Spitak. I wrote this, rather, not for the forum, but for the site administration, and, perhaps, for Roman Skomorokhov. Roman, here's a topic for you. For Russia, Armenians are not just a people related by religion. Armenians are a huge layer of culture, history, ethics, morality, which is absolutely naturally woven into our worldview and has become part of our culture and history. One hundred thousand people without a home... I haven’t written a single article for this site. But, if you, friends, say yes, I will write. The first one. About Armenia. Where I've never been. About the Armenians. Not about Moscow hucksters who sold not only their honor, but also their roots, but about the Armenians. I apologize for my impulsiveness, but it really hurts for the people, ordinary people, who at one point lost their HOMELAND.

      I don’t understand why you’re bothering ROMAN, he himself knows what to write about. YOU write about 100 thousand people who lost their homes, but you forget that in the 90s, 7 regions of Azerbaijan were captured by Armenians.
      Before the conflict, the population of the “security belt” was 424900 people, almost all Azerbaijanis. According to the 1989 census, the Azerbaijani population in the Kelbajar region was 96%, in the Lachin region - 89.9%, in the Jebrail region - 99.6%, in the Kubatli region - 99.4%, in the Fizuli region - 99.2% and in the Agdam region 99.5%. Armenians were registered in Zangelan (0.4%) and in Kubatli, Fizuli and Agdam (total 0.1%). As a result of the conflict, almost the entire Azerbaijani population left the “security belt”. Just compare: 100 Armenians lost their homes and 000 Azerbaijanis also lost their homes.

    All the “Soros”, and Pashinyan of them, are first and foremost the ENEMIES of their own states and peoples. Russophobia and nationalism are secondary.

    These are people who do not even work in the interests of the “people of the USA” or the “Anglo-Saxons”. They work for the satanic-oligarchic international. So far in Europe this is understood only in Serbia and Hungary. Georgians began to suspect that the American president was not working in the interests of the Georgian people. In old Europe, people will soon also understand that Brussels is one complete “Sorosyatnik”, preparing mass murders of Europeans under the guise of a fight for “democracy and new values.”

    Once, already, the Lord God told the Armenians (1760) in which direction to move and under “whose wing” to stand... Apparently, since then, a lot of water has flowed in the rivers of Armenia, washing away the remnants of Armenian blood and memory from their banks, after the Turkish genocide... In today's Armenia, prophets and smart leaders disappeared, like Catholicos Hakob V and Simeon I, and only half-educated street clowns like Pashinyan remained... For the second time, the Lord God has no clues for the lost “flock” it happens, by definition, but only the process of education begins and is quite harsh (remember Sodom and Gomorrah)... It seems that the Lord decided to punish the Armenians by “blocking” their genetic memory and “rewarding” the leader whom this people, they are worthy... What can you argue with... We are waiting, now, for the “Armenian Maidan” with all that it entails... For everything in this life, you have to pay...

    Armenia is ready to move closer to the European Union
    What about geography? Of all the neighbors, the closest candidate to the EU is Turkey, and even then it is only a vague and distant prospect. Azerbaijan is not asking to join the EU, and Iran, even if it does, will not be accepted. Well, maybe Georgia, but the prospects there are even murkier than in Turkey. So the only way to get closer is virtually.

    another country can be turned into hostile to us,

    Let it be better to be an open/obvious enemy than like the “former fraternal republics”. Like, for example, pot-heads, Kazakhs, etc.

    The path to either membership or hanger-on of any Western communities is possible only for Judas. It is necessary to publicly and demonstratively sever relations with the Russian Federation, accusing it of all mortal sins, and then, perhaps, the seeker of favors will be allowed into this get-together as a petty riffraff or, God forbid, a victim. However, all this is needed not only by the applicant countries, but by their elites, who are, in fact, agents of the West.

    He pawned 3 million Armenians in a Western pawnshop without the intention of ever redeeming them, pursuing solely his own selfish interest.
    Where does Pashinyan get 3 million Armenians from? Sargsyan didn’t have them either. It is probably not for nothing that the official results of the 2011 Pan-Armenian Census were first published only in 2013. laughing
    By the way, in my opinion, and of the 2 million +\- 100 thousand people remaining in Armenia today, the majority simply dreams of ending up in a Western pawnshop. hi

    Quote from nordscout
    Once, already, the Lord God told the Armenians (1760) in which direction to move and under “whose wing” to stand...
    And what percentage of the world's Armenians took advantage of this advice? God grant 2-3%. Even in the best of times.
    Is it under Pashinyan that the US Embassy in Armenia reached 2,5 personnel?
    Was it Pashinyan who allowed the United States to equip American bacteriological laboratories in Armenia that collect DNA samples ??
    Is it Pashiyan who was awarded a special medal in the USA: "Ellis Island Medal" (a public medal, but recognized by the US Congress and highly respected, there is practically not a single former US President who has not been awarded this medal), which is given "for a special contribution to the development of relations this or that state with the USA ".
    But Sargsyan received such a medal back in 2011, during his visit to the United States. Apparently just for allowing the activities of US bacteriological laboratories on the territory of Armenia.
    As soon as Sargsyan took over as President of Armenia (in 2008), he allowed it (in 2009).
    By the time Sargsyan left, there were already 12 such US bacteriological laboratories in Armenia. Is it not for these merits that Sargsyan received his medal? By the way, he was the first and still remains the only foreign President to be awarded such a medal. The second, perhaps, will be Zelensky.
    Is it Pashinyan, on the day of the national holiday of Armenia on May 28, 2016, with his entire retinue in the center of Yerevan, was opening a monument to Nazi Nzhdeh? No, Pashinyan was nothing then. And the monument to Nazi Nzhdeh was opened by Serzh Sargsyan and his retinue.


    Sargsyan, like all previous presidents of Armenia, just like Pashinyan, focused exclusively on the United States. But they knew how to keep their mouths shut and did not forget to praise Russia loudly from time to time.
    The only difference between Pashinyan and Sargsyan is that Pashinyan sometimes allows himself to say what he thinks.
    Yes, the question arises, why was Sargsyan leaked? Well, apparently in the State Department, situations like ours also happen. In our country, it happens that our Kremlin towers have different opinions on the same issue. Exaggeratedly, one can say this: the GosDepovsky heavy cupboard supported Sargsyan, but the slippery GosDepovsky toilet bowl took and drained it.

    Quote: Dmitry Bolotsky
    For Russia, Armenians are not just a people related by religion.
    Dividing the peoples of Russia into “pure” (Christians) and “impure” (Muslims, Buddhists, Lamaists, people who adhere to pagan beliefs, atheists and everyone else) is meanness and provocation. Enough to drive a religious wedge into the unity of the peoples of Russia. We must not forget that Russia is a secular state. And in the question of whom we should support, the choice in the last place may depend on religion. If at all it can depend on religion.
    And in 2008, did you think it was right to support “our Georgian brothers in Christ” against the Abkhazians? After all, Georgians, unlike Armenians, are not only Christians, Georgians are truly the most Orthodox Christians! And if the majority of Ossetians are Christians (although some Ossetians are Sunni Muslims), then the Abkhazians cannot be called a completely Christian people. According to the 2003 census, only 60% of respondents in Abkhazia called themselves Christians. And this percentage turned out to be so high due to the Armenians living in Abkhazia. Less than half of ethnic Abkhazians are Christians. 16% of respondents identified themselves as Muslims. There are predominantly ethnic Abkhazians here, there are no Armenians among them. Another 10% of respondents answered that they adhere to traditional pre-Christian Abkhazian beliefs (there are hardly any Armenians among them). So, if we remove Armenians from the statistics for Abkhazia, it turns out that 32% of Abkhazians are Muslims, and 20% adhere to traditional pre-Christian Abkhazian beliefs.
    But we, Russia, did not support the Orthodox Georgians against the Abkhazians and Ossetians in August 2008. On the contrary. Were we wrong?

    Again. About friendship based on religion.
    First, Russia is a secular state.
    Secondly, Islam in Russia is as legal and traditional as Orthodoxy.
    And toss such ideas that Russia needs to be friends with someone just because these someone is “Christians” - this means trying to bring fragmentation into the unity of Russia.
    Here, for example, is a system of soldiers of the Russian Army. Of these, 30% are atheists, 35% are Christians of all directions, 25% are Muslims, the remaining 10% are Buddhists, Lamaists, and so on. And what, will you address them with a speech that "Muslims who are friendly to us in Christ are going to offend Muslims" ???
    Bullshit? Bullshit !!!
    And further.
    1. Dogs-knights who? The most Christian of Christians, besides having the blessing of the Pope himself.
    2. Poles who defaced Moscow churches in 1612 who? Muslims? No, no less true Christians than dog knights!!!
    3. The Swedes near Poltava in 1709, why did they pray to the East on rugs?
    4. French 1812?? Certainly not Muslims.
    5. Germans 1914 and 1941? What was written on the buckles of the Nazis?

    What, will Türkiye allow Armenia to join NATO?
    And the United States will not allow Armenia to leave the CSTO. That’s not why they slipped Armenia into the CSTO.
