“I am sure that Russia and Armenia continue to play a somewhat strange game, trying to convince everyone that they have ‘had a falling out’… Admittedly, they are playing it so enthusiastically and using so many political extras that many people, including us, have started to calculate the ‘dividends’ from this ‘Armenian-style divorce’. I would like to advise all gullible ‘analysts’ to calm down and not to fall for the propaganda provocation. ‘Pro-Western Soros kid’ Nikol Pashinyan has only been talking so far, loudly and emotionally, but just about a couple of dozens of FSB border guards at Zvartnots airport, and trying to call into question Armenia’s membership in the CSTO, which is politically dead after its only ever ‘mission’ in Kazakhstan… Yet he has been quiet or silent about: the military base in Gyumri, the aviation group, i.e. the base in Zvartnots, the joint group of Armenian-Russian troops with a joint command, the joint air defense with a joint command, the border detachments of the FSB of the Russian Federation guarding all of Armenia’s borders, including the conditional one with Azerbaijan, the fact that several dozen military and military-technical state-to-state treaties and agreements remain in force, and hundreds of economic treaties, including multilateral ones within the framework of the EurAsEC and CIS.
“Basically, Armenia is a long way away from getting out from under the influence of the Russian Federation. What is the point of this fixed circus then, you might ask. It is just that the Russian Federation let its ‘suitcase without a handle’ go begging the West for some money to feed itself. But what about the West? It, too, understands everything and also participates in this performance, though under the guise of the savior of its ‘Christian sister’ from ‘evil Muslims, Azerbaijanis and Turks’. So, on April 5 it will be announced that ‘bad boy Nikol’ will be awarded another jar of jam and a basket of cookies with the permission of the Kremlin,” Zulfugarov wrote.
