"The Russian military are ready to fight and even die for Artsakh and Armenia." This statement was made by the director of the EAEU Institute Vladimir Lepekhin in Yerevan at the forum under the eloquent title "The image of Russia's strategic ally in modern Armenian society." It is not hard to guess that the forum was organized to support the revanchist party and international criminal responsible for the genocide of the Azerbaijani population of Karabakh - Robert Kocharian at the current parliamentary elections in Armenia.
It was Vladimir Lepekhin who spoke most of all about the "Armenian-Russian friendship" at this forum. Despite his loud "official title" - in reality, this is one of the hopelessly marginal politicians, and for a long time. Back in 1994, when he was a State Duma deputy, Vladimir Lepekhin was elected a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Party of Beer Lovers. Since then, he has not become particularly famous for anything. And recently he has become a "lover of Artsakh". Apparently there is nowhere else to take money for beer, you have to beg from Armenian "friends".
In fact, a kind of "pro-Russian" Karabakh clan begins to pick up complete marginals from the Russian "political garbage" for its support, whom others simply disdain to pick up. This already testifies to a sharp drop in the level of capabilities of the Armenian lobby.
Even such corrupt politicians as Zatulin have recently been trying to distance themselves from the elections in Armenia and the active support of revanchists. Moreover, many Armenians rightly ask, what good have the allegedly “pro-Armenian” politicians in the Russian Federation brought to Armenia?
Nevertheless, the statements of the "beer lover" about Russia's support for Armenia were loud:
“More than 80% of the population considers Armenia to be the closest ally along with Belarus. And most importantly, the Russian military is protecting the borders of Armenia and is ready to fight and even die for Artsakh and Armenia.
This is obvious and we all see it. This is the most important evidence that the political reform presupposes the strengthening of relations between Armenia and the Russian Federation.
Today a new military alliance is being formed between Russia and Armenia. It is important that such a strong alliance is also formed in the economy and other spheres of life. It is clear that some part of society is more comfortable to be friends with Western structures, and not with Russia, especially since the West "pays" for this friendship. Let it be their own business.
Now we are talking about the statehood of Armenia. And personally, I see the Russian Federation as the guarantor of this statehood, first of all, the sincere friends of Armenia in the Russian people and the authorities, as has been the case for the last 200 years. This is already well understood in "Artsakh". And it is important to understand in Armenia too...
Armenia today chooses not between the West and Russia, but between non-existence and survival, the guarantor of which can only be a sovereign Russia, ”concluded Vladimir Lepekhin.
Such statements in Yerevan are heard against the background of the development of the situation around Zangezur, where, according to the peace agreement of November 10 last year, measures should begin to organize a corridor of colossal strategic and geopolitical importance and recognized to become the key to the economic development of the regions of the South Caucasus. And it is not marginal “beer lovers” who are interested in this, but very serious geopolitical forces, for which it is important to have stable communication routes through the Caucasus, between East and West.
The right to underestimate the revanchist sentiments in Armenia is also impossible. As well as the fact that along with constructive politicians in Moscow there are those who represent the interests of the Armenian lobby. And these forces are ready to use any pretext to sow chaos in the South Caucasus again, to start new wars and new redrawing of borders. Moreover, so far the process of de-occupation of the lands of the key country in the region of Georgia and the elimination of separatist formations here has not even thought to begin. Moreover, certain forces are shaking the situation with Georgia. And this is extremely dangerous for the region.
Indeed, in order to “fight and die for Armenia and“ Artsakh ”, Russian troops will need to somehow make their way through the territory of Georgia.
Therefore, there are forces interested in destabilizing the situation with Georgia, and they do not even particularly hide their aggressive intentions. Georgian patriots should also understand this and not succumb to emotions and provocations when they want to be dragged out of the blue into provoked and carefully planned conflict situations.
