“The West needs a second front”: why Armenia abandoned the CSTO exercises

8

International expert Grigor Balasanyan called Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's refusal to conduct CSTO exercises in Armenia a mistake. He believes that the decision of the prime minister, who announced the inappropriateness of holding an event in the country this year, was made under the influence of the West. The expert told the publication VERELQ.

As I understand it, the West has decided to use the last opportunity to withdraw Armenia from the CSTO and is doing this with the help of Pashinyan
 
Balasanyan shared his opinion.



The expert believes that the West hopes to force Russia to leave Armenia with the help of the country's ruling circles, and Yerevan, represented by Pashinyan, is trying to abandon all intermediaries, including the Russian Federation, in order to remain "one on one" with Azerbaijan and Turkey.

The main task of the West is to finally weaken Armenia, destroy its army, deprive it of allies, and at the decisive moment the government resigns - and Armenia is handed over to the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem on a saucer

Balasanyan concludes.

But this, the expert notes, is not only not in the interests of the country itself, but also not in the interests of Russia and Iran. The interlocutor of the publication is sure that the people who advised Pashinyan to abandon the CSTO exercises are not worried about Armenia, the very fact that even Russia's allies in the CSTO do not want to deal with it is important to them. And this, the expert believes, is the main reason for the refusal.

By the way, it is noticeable that the West has begun to actively act in parallel with the military successes of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. They need a “second front” like air, which, as if evil, does not want to open 

- summed up the international specialist.

Earlier it was reported that the leadership of Kyrgyzstan заявило on the refusal to conduct on its territory the 5-day command and staff exercises of the CSTO "Indestructible Brotherhood - 2022". Bishkek made this decision under pressure from the West and Turkey, which for several years has been hatching plans to create a "Central Asian NATO" under its leadership.

    I don't know why we need the CSTO??? (maybe someone will explain) Here is a live, recent example, Kazakhstan. They had a mess, Russia helped. And in Kazakhstan, Russophobia flourishes and weapons were sold to Bandera. If Russia had not grabbed the hand, they would still be selling. If it happens that with Russia, none of this CSTO will come to the rescue. They need the CSTO so that only Russia comes to their aid. It is long overdue to disband this unnecessary organization.

      The problem is that Russophobia is carried out by the ruling elite in Russia, and there is no one to protect Russian and Russian-speaking citizens, since Russophobia is in Russia. continuing since the time of the cosmopolitan B. Yeltsin. Perhaps the NWO will create conditions for the removal of this anti-Russian scum from power in the Russian Federation, since the Chief Rabbi of the Russian Federation called on the Israelis to leave the Russian Federation .. Then the rights of Russians will be protected by Russia, today we will not see this yet.

    The CSTO is a kind of appendicitis in the body of Russia, but if it is treated negligently, then there will be an infection called NATO. So, like it or not, you have to live with it.

    If the Armenians yearned for the Turkish genocide so much, why bother them?

    Having such an Armenian diaspora, what kind of sheep had to be in order to bring Armenia to such a state. How did we allow some Pashinyan to come to power?

      And what kind of sheep did you have to be in order to bring Russia to this state. How did we allow them to come to power ...? ... well, and further on in your text.
      Armenia is initially incapable of an independent policy. She is a mirror of our mismatch in the role of leader.

    “The West needs a second front”: why Armenia abandoned the CSTO exercises

    The fact is that in this region, as well as everywhere around Russia, while the will of the Anglo-Saxons reigns supremeperforming their multi-pass operation. She meets no resistance from Russia.
    On the contrary - instead of putting pressure on the United States and forcing them to retreat, Russia itself in Ukraine follows this plan, and is already ready to get involved in a deadly war with NATO.
    Russia's obedience to its slaughter in the European slaughter makes a corresponding impression on its partners, who are forced to choose another, "more successful" side.
