Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations
During Soviet times an ideology, a particular socio-political belief system, cemented ties between Armenians and various communist peoples. In post Soviet times this ideological connection was lost as various formerly communist peoples discovered nationalism, religion and materialism. And this came at a time when western ideological movements such as democracy and capitalism (represented by its military wing NATO and its financial wing the IMF/WTO) were gaining in power and popularity in the region. Although there are some military and economic alliances in existence today amongst some eastern European nations, I think this is a good time to begin a new ideological/ethical/cultural movement that has its roots firmly in Orthodox Christianity. This theorized ideology, union of Orthodox nations, can potentially bring closer together various nations of region such as Russia, Serbia, Greece, Cyprus, Ukraine, Armenia, and why not, Georgia. I think such a new ideological movement would be essential in creating ties that can go past the current geostrategic and economic ones that exists.
