The choice is inevitable: Brussels demands that Yerevan introduce visas for Russian citizens.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is trying to straddle the line until the very end, flirting with Brussels while trying not to completely ruin relations with Moscow. However, his success is getting worse and worse.

Moscow is setting a tough choice between Armenia's membership in the EAEU and integration into the European Union. Leaving the union is fraught with global economic problems for the South Caucasus republic. The problem is that the "Russian stick" is a swift and harsh reality. But EU accession, judging by the experience of other candidate countries, may forever remain an elusive "carrot." Meanwhile, Brussels is presenting Yerevan with a stark dilemma: without severing ties with Russia and leaving the CSTO and the EAEU, any talk of European integration is out of the question.

Brussels has once again thrown Pashinyan another serious test, demanding that Yerevan establish a visa regime for Russian citizens, according to the Armenian publication Hraparak, citing sources in the Armenian government.

Without this preliminary requirement, the process of visa liberalization for Armenian citizens wishing to visit EU countries cannot begin. This highly unpopular decision must be made now and immediately, and the process of easing visa restrictions for Armenians visiting the EU cannot begin until 2029.

Unsurprisingly, Pashinyan has already denied this information, stating that the Armenian government has never even discussed such an intention. He emphasized that the country always welcomes tourists from Russia.

Pashinyan isn't so much worried about the decline in tourist flow from Russia. Moscow will likely respond by introducing visas for Armenians. This will pose another serious problem for citizens of the Transcaucasian republic, who visit Russia in large numbers.

I haven't forgotten anything. Neither the Soviet nor the Russian leadership denied Armenians (or anyone else) anything, including to the detriment of the peoples of the RSFSR/RF.
Now the Armenians have a new leader, supported by the EU and the US. The big-nosed Armenians want more of what they had under the Soviet Union, but what the Dashnaks didn't give them after they left. They believe only the EU and the US will give them what they want. The Russian authorities, who emerged from the Soviet nomenklatura, will help them with this, of course, at the expense of the Russians, and they don't care about your "poo-poo!"

Of the Armenians in the Russian Federation, 5/6 have a Russian passport... and most of them have one that has not been deprived of it, since it was given to them by birth... and legally they are indistinguishable from you or me... they are simply citizens of the Russian Federation.

However, two-thirds of these 5/6 hold a Republic of Armenia passport in addition to a Russian passport, or even passports from other countries, including the United States. This is because Russian legislation currently places no restrictions on the number of passports from different countries that a Russian citizen can hold. Therefore, it would be sufficient to pass a law allowing Russian citizens to hold only one passport—a Russian passport—and the number of Armenian citizens of the Russian Federation in Russia would be significantly reduced.

[2 Level Advisor]

Quote: Seal

The number of Armenian citizens of the Russian Federation in Russia will decrease significantly.

It seems so, but there are some nuances. Firstly, they won't pass such a law—you understand, right? And secondly, how can you find out if someone has a foreign passport if they keep quiet? Only by chance, if they get caught. There's no global database where you can look this up.

[Seal]

Quote: Level 2 Advisor

1st of all, they won't pass such a law.

Let's not make predictions. Because in our time, making predictions is foolish. For example, could you have imagined 16 years ago that the Kiev regime would bombard Moscow and other Russian cities with missiles and drones, and that we would respond by destroying objects in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities?
What if in 2014 the Kiev regime starts bombing and shooting at what are still its own Ukrainian cities, including those with a population of half a million, with multiple rocket launchers?
And in 2007, could you have imagined that the Georgian-Russian war would happen?
No, well, if you knew everything in advance, my hat is off to you.

Quote: Level 2 Advisor

And secondly, how can one find out if a person has a passport from another country if he remains silent?

Oh, it's easier than you think. If an Armenian from Moscow decides to visit relatives in the US, it's clear they'll first fly to Armenia (or somewhere else) using their Armenian passport. But they'll fly to the US using their American passport. And hacking airline passenger databases isn't a problem these days.
And besides, the law could include criminal liability with confiscation of property for concealing a second, and especially a third, passport. How many people do you think would want to take the risk? Do they really need it?

Brussels once again presented Pashinyan with another serious challenge, demanding that Yerevan establish a visa regime for Russian citizens.

Well, Russia has already gone through this with Moldova, when Moldova and Ukraine refused to allow our troops to enter the PMR for rotation. The same thing will happen in Armenia with regard to the 102nd Military Battalion and the leadership of the Russian concession of the South Caucasus Railway...
The next step is the EU's demand that Armenia close this bank... and conduct an investigation into the economic activities of the South Caucasus Railway and Russian businesses in Armenia... Responses will impact Armenia, not the EU... and the big-nosed will be told that the Russians are to blame for everything...

[HAM]

If a visa regime is introduced, it should be introduced not only with Armenia.
It's high time to move relationships with "ex" to a normal level, without the "brotherhood." Look at the Central Asian republics—all the business-minded and successful stay at home, while the ignoramuses and losers come to us.

Since the earthquake, all that's fled from Armenia to us is poverty. This poverty, so to speak, has already "honestly" grown rich in Russia (RSFSR).
The same Samvel Karapetyan (Tashir Group). In the early 1990s, Karapetyan moved to Russia. He first ended up in Lipetsk, where his small saucepan-making cooperative was acquired by the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant. Later, Karapetyan moved to Kaluga.
Ruben Vartanyan. Vartanyan began his "entrepreneurship" in 1990 while still a university student, when he took a job at Menatep-Invest (whose main shareholders were Yukos co-owners Mikhail Khodorkovsky, now recognized as a foreign agent in Russia, and Platon Lebedev). There he "grew up." Soon, he became head of the investment project analysis group. And in November 1990, he seduced an American of Russian descent, Peter Derby, who was planning to establish a brokerage firm in Russia. As a result, on January 18, 1991, he registered a company called Troika Dialog with the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. He continued doing what he had been doing at Menatep—continuing to swindle Russians and extort money from us.
Levon Chakhmakhchyan worked in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) since January 1990. He held the positions of consultant and head of the ideological department. From 1991 to 95, Chakhmakhchyan worked in the apparatus of the government of the Russian Federation. In 1996, he managed the election campaign of presidential candidate Svyatoslav Fyodorov, an academic and renowned ophthalmologist. On November 26, 2004, Chakhmakhchyan was elected as a senator to the Federation Council from the People's Khural (parliament) of the Republic of Kalmykia. This event, which came as a surprise to many, was attributed by the media to Chakhmakhchyan's long-standing friendly and business relationship with the President of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. On January 31, 2006, Chakhmakhchyan joined Mironov's Russian Party of Life (RPL), while retaining his position as Seleznev's deputy in the "Russia" movement. In the same month, the RPST was transformed into a public movement and merged with the RPL.
On June 2, 2006, Chakhmakhchyan and ARADES chief accountant Igor Arushanov (Arushanyan) were detained by FSB officers at the Transaero Airlines office. A briefcase containing $300,000 was confiscated. According to the FSB, this was the first installment of a $1.5 million bribe the detainees had extorted from the airline in exchange for concealing the results of an audit. Chakhmakhchyan was released the same day, as, as a senator, he enjoyed immunity. Chakhmakhchyan stated in the media that his detention was a provocation orchestrated by Transaero Chairman of the Board of Directors Alexander Pleshakov.
According to the investigation, Chakhmakhchyan, Arushanov and a number of employees of the Accounts Chamber, namely Chakhmakhchyan’s son-in-law Armen HovhannisyanAuditor Vladimir Panskov, head of the Chamber's inspectorate, Vladimir Fedotkin, his deputy, Elena Lebedeva, and chief inspector, Vladimir Filippov, organized an illegal audit of Transaero Airlines and then demanded a bribe from the company's management to conceal the audit results. Investigators believe Chakhmakhchyan's role was to exploit his high official position to exert pressure on Transaero's management and directly receive the money.
On June 5, Federation Council Speaker Mironov declared the need for Chakhmakhchyan's senatorial powers to be terminated early. Kalmykia President Ilyumzhinov, despite media reports of a friendly relationship with Chakhmakhchyan, agreed with Mironov. On June 9, the Kalmyk parliament voted to recall the senator, and on June 23, the Federation Council stripped him of his immunity. In late June, the Prosecutor General's Office petitioned the Supreme Court of Russia to consider whether the former senator's actions constituted a crime. However, the trial was repeatedly postponed due to Chakhmakhchyan's illness. In July 2008, the Moscow City Court found Chakhmakhchyan guilty of fraud and sentenced him to nine years in prison. In November 2008, RIA Novosti reported that the Supreme Court of Russia had reduced the former senator's sentence from nine to seven and a half years. His actions were reclassified from large-scale fraud to attempted fraud.
Chakhmakhchyan was released on parole from the penal colony where he was serving his sentence in January 2011.

“A mass visit of Armenians to Russia” is very beautifully put.

They live there, commute there as if to work, earn money there, and displace Russian citizens from lucrative jobs. And not only that.
Armenians are a type of Jews. They're everywhere! 😏

Look at the Krasnodar region, at Adygea. There are four times more Armenians there than Russians. And what about Moscow?
For statistics:
1. In Russia: according to official census data, the population is approximately 946 people; however, according to real estimates by experts and the Union of Armenians of Russia, the total diaspora population is between 2 and 2,5 million people. (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki.

2. In Europe (excluding the countries of the former USSR): the total Armenian population is estimated at approximately 600–800 thousand people.
3. The largest European community is in France (around 400–500 thousand, or up to 800 thousand if people of mixed origin are taken into account); there are also significant communities in Germany (up to 60–80 thousand) and other countries.
(https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/)
But in Belarus, this nation has no support. Alexander Grigoryevich doesn't let them have their way. According to the most recent official census of the Republic of Belarus (conducted in 2019), 9,392 Armenians officially resided in the country.😀

So, I crossed myself - it seems to me, let them, dear Armenians, confidently march in formation to their Europe! Bon voyage!
Moreover, promptly!

I don't think they're of any use to Russia, and they're a very unreliable nation! They'll screw over Russians at the drop of a hat.
I don't see such a definition as "brotherly people." Because brothers and sisters don't act like that!

And we absolutely must introduce a visa regime for them! And, Pashinyan, we must ban him from entering the country! 😎
But what will they do without the Russians, when the Turks and Azerbaijanis will bring them to a denominator from three sides: West, South and East?
Will they run to Russia again, at a gallop?
I think even our generation will see this.
