It comes a day after Putin warned Armenia against seeking EU membership and alluded to the “Ukrainian scenario.” Yerevan historically has strong ties to Moscow but has pivoted to the West in recent years.

Maybe if they stopped Azerbaijan committing genocide against Artsakh after letting it casually violate a ceasefire that Russia supposedly was peacekeeping Armenia wouldn’t have had to find other allies eh

Russia has a whole history of betraying her “allies” and then pikachufacing when they reorient away.

I sense America is about to experience the same.

Russia: Maybe we stop selling you cheap gas, maybe our drones visit your kindergartens?!

Armenia: It would be extremely painful…

Russia: 😏

Armenia: …for you.

Armenia should leave the Commonwealth of Independent States and accelerate efforts to join the EU.
