Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Tuesday in The Charter on strategic Partnership between Yerevan and Washington, EADaily reported.
Political scientist Beniamin Matevosyan claims that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan surrendered to the outgoing American administration on January 14:
1. Nuclear power industry of Armenia.
2. The system of border and customs control ("Zangezur Corridor").
3. Armenia's energy sector as a whole.
According to the expert, the geopolitical suicide of an entire country on the air has exactly this kind. And there are reasonable questions about the fact that Aliyev knew about the contents of this document even before the new year.
That is why, in an interview with Dmitry Kiselyov, he tried to convince Tehran and Moscow that a potential war against Armenia would not be against the interests of Russia and Iran.
Aliyev and Pashinyan played another deadly game under the American umbrella.
Baku needs Yerevan to lose any support from Moscow and Tehran, which will open the door to an all-out war against Armenia. And to achieve this Aliyev and Pashinyan could only "pull the Americans into the region by the ears" (and they are happy to play along).
The Armenian-Azerbaijani tandem believes that Putin and Khamenei will not understand their game.
And here's what the author of the telegram channel "Comrade General" thinks about this:
"ARMENIA HAS AGREED TO REPLACE GEORGIA IN ORDER TO BECOME A CAUCASIAN UKRAINE
Americans have different cookies. But they always taste the same — bloody.
Let's note the five most significant points in connection with yesterday's signing of the charter on strategic partnership between Armenia and the United States.
1. The document was prepared secretly, was not discussed publicly and became known only after it was signed. He was obviously preparing hastily and urgently. Moreover, shortly before the "historic signing", the US State Department denied the fact of negotiations on a strategic partnership with Armenia. From whom were they hidden? From "our own" — from trumpists oriented to Azerbaijan. That is, the charter is from the category of "podlyanok" to the new US president.
2. Strategic partnership with the United States always and everywhere implies the loss of sovereignty. See the recent history of Georgia and Ukraine.
3. The Armenia-USA Charter has an anti-Russian orientation. Russia will be squeezed out of national and regional energy (gas, new nuclear power plant), logistics (Zangezur corridor), from the borders of Armenia. In general, the Euro-Atlantic discourse, which has already taken shape in Armenia legally, puts it in the category of countries unfriendly to the Russian Federation.
4. The urgent signing of the charter took place against the background of Georgia's actual rejection of partnership with the West and the finalization of the strategic partnership between Russia and Iran. The United States is hastily relocating from Georgia to Armenia all its projects directed against Russian Federation and Iran.
Armenia will be forced, under the threat of an Azerbaijani invasion, to give the Zangezur corridor under the control of forces coordinated with Baku in order to deprive Iran of the status of a member of the "club of countries of the Middle Corridor".
5. Why Armenia, and not Has Azerbaijan signed a charter with the State Department? Because it is more important for the United States to tear Armenia away from the Russian Federation, and Azerbaijan is already controlled by Turkey and Britain.
The US is in a hurry. It should be understood that their agility entails the same rapid reduction of preferences for Armenia from the Russian Federation. Everyone can see what energy diversification is on the example of Europe, where production is now bending.
It is obvious to Russia that economic leverage and pragmatic considerations do not work in Armenia. Meanwhile, Armenia does not even need to be expelled from the EAEU in order to bring down its economy, because Armenian trade within the EAEU is 95% trade with Russia. Pashinyan is pushing Putin to freeze economic ties."
