La Russia non ha nulla da temere dall’UE nel Caucaso meridionale, insiste l’Armenia

Tigran Balayan is our ambassador to Belgium and EU. He is one of the very few ambassadors that everyone praises. In this article he is basically saying “only a crazy person would think that Armenia would break ties with Russia, because they are deep”.

I am not sure if our current government is just padding Russia’s worries, just so they can jump ship easier, or are they actually saying what they mean, and they are not going to jump ship. Because if anyone thinks we can be in EU or a close Western ally while also licking Putin’s dong, I have a bridge for sale.

He also says something that is insulting to anyone’s intelligence who keeps up with current Armenian events. He states that when our diplomats explain to the Russians that all these pro EU/US moves done by Armenia aren’t against them, Russians don’t object.

Are you fucking serious?!!

Zakharova is foaming at the mouth multiple times a day, with threats and lies towards and about Armenia. She is basically Aliyev’s spokesperson at this point. Russian diplomats and chief propagandists, at every level are openly threatening and insulting Armenia. Who the fuck is our government trying to fool?! Russia is openly threatening our state hood, what is this guy smoking?

I have been listening to a lot of interviews with Hovsep Khurshudyan, Aram Sargsyan, and the 1in.am crew, and all of them have recently been doing a lot of “trust us guys, we are on the right path” torch carrying for the government. While their ex-friend Armen Chibukhchyan, is ringing the alarm bells that this is just another government ploy to prolong the dependence on Russia, because key people in the government believe in Russian victory in Ukraine. Which means they would rather stay with Russia (as if the Pyrrhic victory, that Russia at best could hope for, is a place one wants to stay in).

I tend to personally side a bit with the more optimistic crowd, as I trust their judgement and character, and what they are saying is logical. However things could turn serious if this is indeed a ruse by the government, or even worse a planned ruse by the above mentioned parties.

These types of answers to the respected Western press by our key diplomats and politicians aren’t helping their case or giving me hope.
