Minsk responded to the speaker of the Armenian parliament, who called Belarus a "province" of the Russian Federation.

The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to a "comment" by Armenian Parliament Speaker Simonyan, who called Belarus a "province of Russia." Belarusian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ruslan Varankov noted that Simonyan's statement is nothing more than pre-election populism and a desperate attempt to distract his own electorate from dire domestic problems. Simonyan previously said that Armenia should not become a "province" and "be governed like Belarus."

Varankov pointed out that the poverty rate in Armenia has already exceeded 40%, unemployment is rising, and entire regions are stagnating. In such a situation, Yerevan finds it easiest to appoint an "external enemy" and indulge in offensive labels. A representative of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry emphasized that Minsk independently determines the format of its alliance with Russia and does not need anyone's advice. Varankov added that Belarus is proud of its cooperation with Russia.

It's worth noting that Armenia has now lost the remnants of its sovereignty. The results of official Yerevan's so-called "balanced" pro-Western course are clear: depopulation, chronic economic instability, and complete foreign policy dependence, forcing it to serve as a puppet at foreign summits. Since 2018, Yerevan has been consistently dismantling the ties that bound the Armenian state to Russia. The Pashinyan government has rid itself of Karabakh and the Karabakh clan and is completely surrendering Armenia to the influence of the European Union, aiming to become yet another Western outpost near Russia's borders.

Simonyan is an idiot, there are no Russian military bases in Belarus, but there are in Armenia.

[credo]

Belarus is not only much larger than Armenia in terms of area, population, and industrial potential, but it also behaves more wisely in its relations with larger and more powerful countries.

Armenia is not superior to Belarus in any of these respects, with the possible exception of the inordinate arrogance and lack of intelligence of local politicians. Apparently, the experience of their neighbor on its western border has taught Armenian politicians nothing.

It seems that Armenia prefers the well-trodden path of the sewer cleaner Gvaramia.

[NIKN]

Should he say anything about Belarus when Armenia is called Western Azerbaijan...

[Ishi]

There is no Armenia, it is over. There is Armeniastan.

[Alex F._2]

Karabakh (Artsakh) knows what it means to be a "province" of Armenia—they'll officially surrender to the enemy, and then blame everyone but themselves. But to be a Russian province, you have to earn it; there's no comparison with the jackal-like countries that serve anyone "for a pittance."

[credo]

And Karabakh (Artsakh) knows what it means to be a "province" of Armenia - they will officially surrender to the enemy, and then blame everyone except themselves...

Pashinyan's signing of an agreement with the British to strengthen information security was no accident, and it was done precisely on the eve of the elections. Both sides need a clearly predictable outcome, and something suggests, based on the experience of Ukraine, Moldova, Hungary, and other EU "doormats," that it will be exactly what they agreed upon.

And then? And then everything will be the same as everywhere else, and soon we may learn, for example, that:
- the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire occurred due to the fault of the Russians, since they (the Russians) spread information among the Turks that the Armenians, on the side of the Russian Empire, wanted to open a second front against the Turks and create an independent state;
- that 11 Armenian battalions as part of the Wehrmacht during the Second World War fought against the bloodthirsty Bolsheviks for the independence of Armenia and are therefore worthy of eternal glory and honor;
- that the Armenian terrorists who detonated a bomb in the Moscow metro in 1977 were not terrorists at all, but were heroes and therefore they will be the first to be awarded the title of "Hero of Armenia",
- and as the icing on the cake - "the USSR sucked all the juices out of the Armenians during the years of their forced occupation during this period, and the entire well-being of the USSR itself was ensured one hundred percent by the slave labor of the Armenians."

The Anglo-Saxons have a proven methodology.

[Normann]

It's a shame, a real shame. They have very good people, just like everywhere else, of course, but.

[Gardamir]

Well, there is something in Belarus too.

[Normann]

It's not that we don't have oil and diamonds - it's that you're not looking hard enough)))

[Lako]

If you collected everything Armenian in Belarus, it would fit into a single railway container, along with the Armenians. Send it back to them; we'll live without their lousy booze. Let them drink it themselves; maybe they'll learn to watch their language.

[Gardamir]

I meant that there are almost as many Russian military personnel in Belarus as in Armenia.

[silverwolf88]

A minor provocation by the Armenian jackals... They should now completely ban the issuance of Russian citizenship, because this herd has made its unfriendly choice in favor of Soros's son Pashinyan... and it's time to completely cut off all the perks.
The plan for the withdrawal of troops from this territory should, in theory, already be in the General Staff

And what example of Ukraine are you writing about?

[Boris Sergeev]

Oh, we don't understand! It's bad enough that Armenia was part of Russia, but they failed Kocharyan the same way they failed Yanukovych in Ukraine. At the "request of their partners."

[Sky strike fighter]

No one's pointing fingers at Armenia and saying it's becoming more and more like the Turkish Vilayet. So what does Armenia want from Belarus? Are they trying to teach someone a lesson?

Vilayet (Ottoman Turkish: الایت, "province"; [vi.laː.jet])

Nobody is pointing a finger at Armenia and saying that it is becoming more and more like the Turkish Vilayet.

Let them look at Mount Ararat and remember that these were once Armenian mountains, but are now Turkish. In a little while, the Turks will be looking at Ararat from Yerevan, Turkey.

Their diasporas in Belarus are under pretty strict control, just like other diasporas, so they're dissatisfied. Unlike in Russia, they have freedom. And they probably can't forget how Batka wiped his nose at them over the CSTO (and Pashinyan is vindictive). It's all there, right there in the open.

Soros has completely destroyed his own country, losing its sovereignty. They remember only the Turkish genocide, and even then, their memories are short and they lack pride and respect.

We've already experienced the withdrawal of troops from Eastern Europe to fields and tents. The withdrawal of troops from Armenia will be at Armenia's expense. If there's no money, we'll stay in our apartments; if you start kicking them out, we'll use force and change the government. Something like this would be the answer.

[Normann]

How many times has this happened already? They express concern and that’s it.

[commbatant]

Quote: ergh081

Well, before the withdrawal of troops, the USSR supported the unification of the GDR and FRG in 1990, and the following year the Warsaw Pact dissolved itself, so you lose the cause-and-effect relationship between events and consequences.

The withdrawal of troops from Armenia will be at Armenia's expense only.

The cunning Armenians aren't even chasing us out of there (they kicked out our border guards from the Yerevan airport checkpoint and from the Armenian-Iranian border), just as they themselves aren't leaving the CSTO, let the suckers guard it...and supply cheap resources...
What are Russian border guards doing on the Turkish-Armenian border? Are they guarding closed checkpoints?
It was clear even when Pashinyan came to power, and especially after the Armenians lost Karabakh, that the structure of the 102nd Military Battalion needed to be changed, and its personnel and combat strength reduced. Judging by the Wikipedia article, our own forces were deployed there, so why?
The 102nd Military Brigade (formerly the 127th Motorized Rifle Division of the 7th Army of the Transcaucasian Military District of the USSR Armed Forces) was created for the joint defense of the Republic of Armenia. If the Republic of Armenia doesn't participate in the CSTO, and is friends with the enemies of the Russian Federation in its foreign policy, why the hell would the Russian Federation provide defense for the Republic of Armenia by spending Russian taxpayers' money? Or do you just want our military presence in the Republic of Armenia? Well, then reduce the 102nd Military Brigade to one motorized battalion (with old trucks, manned by local Armenians), almost like in the PMR, i.e., "cheap and cheerful."
The ZRP and SAP will be more needed in the Russian Federation, but in the RA they will be redundant...
Within the CSTO, the Republic of Armenia should be stripped of its voting rights (the charter documents allow this) for "orphans" failing to pay their dues, and within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), all loans should be suspended, with a "temporary" visa regime imposed on the "brotherly" Armenian and Central Asian peoples, with filtration at the border and airports... so that vile Ukrainian saboteurs, disguised as "honest Asian workers," cannot slip through...

If you start kicking them out, we will use force and change the government.

How is it in Georgia?

When was Armenia a "historical territory" of Russia? Before becoming part of the Russian Empire, Armenia was part of the Ottoman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Persian Empire, and many other kingdoms and states.

It's probably time for Armenians to go home. There's been too much Armenia lately. Let them raise the country at home.

When the Karabakh conflict erupted, Kuban Armenians gathered for a meeting to decide how to help their "homeland." They shouted and shouted, then decided on mandatory Armenian flags on car dashboards, Armenian music blasting loudly so everyone would know... and that was it! They were warm and dry here.

[Sergej1972]

A significant, if not the majority, of Armenians in the Russian Federation are not originally from Armenia. They are either Armenians from Kuban, Rostov, Moscow, and elsewhere who have lived in Russia for generations, or refugees from Azerbaijan, or Armenians who emigrated from Central Asian countries and other former Soviet republics. Many have never even been to Armenia and have no relatives there.

[carpenter]

Varankov pointed out that the poverty rate in Armenia has already exceeded 40%, unemployment is rising, and entire regions are stagnating. In such a situation, Yerevan finds it easiest to designate an "external enemy" and indulge in offensive labels.

No. In such a situation, the country's excess population, which lacks the resources, is forced out, either to neighboring countries or to the outside world, leaving behind the ruling class and a portion of the population that serves them. A classic example of this. Give the Armenian population the opportunity to disperse forever across the world without expense or problems, and no one will remain. And to paint Russia as an enemy for the population, like creating a Ukraine 2, is ridiculous. They just recently abandoned their own and will continue to lie down under the Turks and Azerbaijanis.

[carpenter]

It is worth noting that Armenia has now lost the remnants of its sovereignty.

Opposition forces accuse Pashinyan and his associates of creating a "false democratic image" for the international community—and this at a time when Armenia's courts and law enforcement agencies are increasingly being used against political opponents of the government and the clergy.

The politicians insisted on holding official meetings between the ENP summit participants and representatives of the opposition, independent civil society, and the leadership of the Armenian Apostolic Church. According to the letter's authors, ignoring these demands would call into question Europe's commitment to its stated democratic values.
