In its millennia-old history, Armenia and its people suffered numerous calamities, particularly in the last 100-150 years when the Turks committed the Armenian Genocide, one of the worst in known history, killing up to 1.5 million Armenians (in addition to well over a million native Greeks and Assyrians). However, in recent years, yet another disaster befell this ancient nation. Namely, only a few years after the US/NATO intelligence services brought Nikol Pashinyan to power, the Turks and their vassals effectively finished the Armenian Genocide in Artsakh (better known as Nagorno-Karabakh). Well over 100,000 native Armenians from there were driven out of their […] #Asia #Europe #Featured #Government #Investigations #Military #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/05/pashinyan-regime-now-uses-armenians-as-guinea-pigs-for-pentagons-bioweapons/?feed_id=11835

In a new threat of war, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that his country “cannot sit idly by” as France, India, and Greece supply weapons to Armenia. However, his justification for issuing a new threat of war is hypocritical since Azerbaijan has invested much more in its military compared to Armenia after turning to Turkey, Pakistan and Israel for weapons. The South Caucasus is clearly becoming a flashpoint for these competing blocs. “We cannot sit idly by while France, India, and Greece arm Armenia against us. They are doing this openly and demonstratively, obviously trying to prove something to us […] #Military #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/04/aliyev-says-azerbaijan-cannot-sit/?feed_id=11515

A very large number of Armenian children are being affected by measles, while the government of Nikol Pashinyan has been allowing unregulated activities of US bio-researchers and specialists thus allowing them in infiltrating in almost all the key areas in the country.

Approximately two months after the unfortunate fall of Artsakh (better known as Nagorno-Karabakh), a historically Armenian land occupied by Azerbaijan, resulting in the ethnic cleansing of over 100,000 indigenous Armenians, the current government continues with its disastrous foreign policy. Run by the infamous Sorosite Nikol Pashinyan, the end of Armenia’s troubles is nowhere in sight. Worse yet, one of the world’s oldest countries and civilizations, spanning millennia and starting with the ancient Kingdom of Urartu nearly 3000 years ago, Armenia is staring into the abyss as its NATO-backed “leader” keeps making one bad decision after another. The victims of this unwise (at best, although the more […] #Featured #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/11/is-armenia-really-arming-the-kiev-regime/?feed_id=6884

The rapprochement between Armenia and the US seems to be progressing quickly. An important Armenian military officer is in Germany holding talks with American representatives to sign a cooperation treaty between Yerevan and NATO. Measures to facilitate the Western military occupation of the Caucasus are expected in the near future. The deputy minister of Defense and chief of the Armenian General Staff, Lieutenant General Edvard Asryan, is in Bavaria, where he has been having talks in recent days with US Air Force Lieutenant General Steven Basham. The American official is also the deputy commander of the US European Command (EUCOM) – Germany […] #UkraineWar #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/11/armenia-obstinately-strengthens-its-alignment-with-us/?feed_id=6257

Last week, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly announced her country will be joining the EU monitoring mission in Armenia, in yet another sign of Western increased presence in the country, amid a humanitarian crisis in the aftermath of neighboring Azerbaijan’s 19 September military operation in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh – historically considered to be a sacred homeland of Armenians. The ongoing EU Mission in Armenia (EUMA) builds upon the two previous European initiatives and is headed by Markus Ritter, a German Federal Police officer and a former Head of the European Union Advisory Mission in […] #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/11/western-mission-presence-armenia/?feed_id=6037

Much has been written on the ongoing crisis in Palestine and its international consequences. For one thing, US President Joe Biden’s plans to request the largest aid package for Ukraine ever (another $100 billion) are becoming increasingly less likely to materialize now that the pressure for Washington to boost its support for Israel will increase.  A lot of attention is also being given to Israeli-Iranian tensions, for instance. But not much is being said about the impact that the new Israeli war might have on Armenia. Armenians have been going through their plight, largely ignored by most of the international community.

As yet another tragedy of the Armenian people unfolds, Sorosite Nikol Pashinyan keeps mocking them. On October 4, he stated that if his resignation would solve Armenia’s problems, he’d allegedly “do so instantly”. However, Pashinyan added that this would “only make things worse”. Maybe he should go and personally ask the fleeing civilians from Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh) if things could get any worse for them. Still, Pashinyan continues to show no interest in the fate of the unfortunate Armenian people of Artsakh, as he has other “much more important priorities”. “I’ll say it straight: If I know that, for example, […] #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/10/pashinyans-resignation-wont-solve-all-of-armenias-problems-but-its-a-start/?feed_id=4512

As the disastrous exodus of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh (known as Artsakh to indigenous Armenians) is in its last phases, the Sorosite Nikol Pashinyan seems more determined than ever to ensure the same fate for Armenia proper. His tilt toward France is a futile attempt to get at least one Western power interested enough to get involved on the side of Armenia, or at least that’s what it seems like on the outside. However, the harsh reality is that Pashinyan has managed to make Yerevan more isolated than ever before, a fact that’s being used to the maximum by its […] #Featured #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/10/pashinyan-doubles-down-on-his-suicidal-tilt-toward-increasingly-impotent-west/?feed_id=4292

Samvel Shahramanyan, the president of the unrecognized republic, issued a decree on Thursday ordering the “dissolution of all state institutions and their branches by January 1, 2024.”  “The Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) ceases to exist,” the announcement declared, as quoted by the NKR InfoCenter.

Not many people remember who Mikheil Saakashvili is and how he pushed Georgia into a geopolitical abyss from which the South Caucasus country is still trying to claw its way out. He will be long forgotten by the time Georgia and Russia normalize their relationship, meaning that the consequences that such NATO puppets leave will outlive them by decades and perhaps the belligerent alliance itself too. What Saakashvili managed to do is indeed a historically unprecedented feat. Namely, never before in its history has Georgia been an enemy of Russia. Quite the contrary, the South Caucasus country has always been […] #Featured #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/09/is-pashinyan-the-new-saakashvili/?feed_id=4057

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the Prime Minister of Armenia who oversaw a humiliating defeat in the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War of 2020, delivered a speech on September 24 claiming that he is leading Armenia’s “independence defence movement” and blamed Russia for the situation in the disputed region. Describing the terrible humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, Pashinyan said, “The responsibility for such a development of events will fall entirely on Azerbaijan, which has adopted the policy of ethnic cleansing, and on the peacekeeping troops of the Russian Federation in Nagorno-Karabakh.” The Armenian prime minister […] #Featured #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/09/pashinyan-attempts-to-blame-russia-for-the-situation-he-helped-create-in-nagorno-karabakh/?feed_id=3798

Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant. The sides involved in the Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have fortunately reached a temporary ceasefire agreement. But the crisis seems far from over. Being governed by a pro-NATO junta, Armenia will have many problems in the near future, both in Artsakh and in its own territory, since evidently the West’s intention is to increase chaos in the region as much as possible. There is no doubt that Nikol Pashinyan’s irresponsible and unpopular government is to blame for the recent escalations in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

According to Pashinyan’s “logic”, France will get into a confrontation with Turkey, one of its NATO allies, for the sake of Armenia, a country nearly 3,500 km away that can reach Yerevan only through neighboring Georgia. This is without even taking into account the troubles Paris is going through as its neocolonial system in Africa is faced with unprecedented unraveling.
