Re: Regional geopolitics
The support given by the EU to dozens of its agents and Western-leaning
NGO's in Armenia, spreading pro-Western and anti-Russian propaganda,
is leading to a dangerous phenomenon; while Moscow may be controlling
Armenia's head, the West, by using their ample experience in
information warfare, is gradually beginning to exert control over
Armenia's body. If it continues this way, pretty soon the head and
the body will be going separate ways, harming Armenia's statehood
and hampering its development.
Armenians shouldn't give free-play to all the Western operatives
seeking to undermine Yerevan's ties with Moscow. For Armenia's own
interests, the spread of blatant anti-Russian sentiments should
be countered and the hypocrisy of what the West promises and how it
actually acts (most of its actions running against Armenia's interests)
should be made clear to the Armenian public.
Azerbaijan's oil production levels have reached a peak, its economic
growth has significantly declined and the socio-economic conditions
are worsening day by day. As a result, Azerbaijan's significance
in international politics is decreasing. Ilham Aliyev may find
himself forced to resort to drastic measures, including unleashing a
full-scale war against Artsakh to maintain his authoritarian rule over
Azerbaijan. Taking this into account, would it be wise to antagonize
the Kremlin so that Azerbaijan could then take over Armenia's role as
Russia's sole "ally" in the Caucasus? The Turks obtained control of
Western Armenia, fooling the Bolsheviks by promising them to become
their allies in the region; it would be naïve to believe that such
a thing could not happen again.
In the critical times ahead,it is of crucial importance to have the
full political and military support of a foreign power, and the only
foreign power that can provide this kind of support is the Russian
Federation. Both the government of Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora
have wasted too much precious time pursuing Western fairy tales.
Armenians need to concentrate all their time and efforts into
developing the North-South axis, into the successful creation of
the Eurasian Union that can then be used to negotiate even more
lucrative deals with the EU and better reflect Armenia's interests
in the region, into increasing Russian-Armenian military ties, into
raising the effectiveness of the CSTO, into the development of Artsakh
by providing for all its needs, into reaching out to emerging markets
to the East and into the development of a genuine civil society that
works for the benefit of the Armenian people, promoting an Armenian
agenda instead of an American or European one.
