Political scientist: Russia has found the weak side of Armenia
During a conversation with "A1 +" political scientist Armen Badalyan, referring to the upcoming Putin-Pashinyan meeting on September 8, expressed an opinion that Russia has found the weak side of Armenia: "We do not develop relations with other countries." "Despite the fact that the new authorities constantly state that Russia is Armenia's strategic partner and the course of its foreign policy has not changed, there are still questions in Russia. The more we declare that we are a reliable partner of Russia, the more doubts are in Russia. There are also bilateral questions as Russia, as we know, sells weapons to Azerbaijan, recently Turkish-speaking countries have adopted anti-Armenian resolution in Bishkek, and there is Kyrgyzstan there, which has been a CSTO member and has decided against its ally," Badalyan said. According to the political scientist, Russia has found the weakness of the Armenian authorities. It is that we do not develop relations with the EU, US and neighboring Iran, other influential countries as well as do not have a foreign policy conception. "The prime minister visits Russia for the third time in 100 days, and during this time he has been in Brussels once, has not visited the United States, Iran or Chine. Russia sees it, makes use of it and starts to intensify the pressure on the Armenian authorities," said the political scientist. He also noticed that the former authorities were trying to establish ties with the EU based on the PR, but the current government did not do it even at the formal level.
