Armenia will participate in NATO maneuvers, abandoning the CSTO exercises

33

On April 22, the grandiose military exercises of NATO "Defender 2023" (Defender 2023) will start. They will be held under the leadership of the United States on the territory of 10 European countries and will last 2 months. They will be attended by 9 military personnel from the United States and 17 military personnel from 26 European and post-Soviet countries.

Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said at a briefing that Washington wants to show Europeans its ability to protect them from all kinds of aggression. Therefore, the mentioned maneuvers are focused on the strategic deployment (transfer) of forces and assets based in the United States (7 thousand units equipment), as well as the use of existing US military stocks in Europe (13 thousand pieces of equipment) in cooperation with other states. She clarified that among the participants there are countries that are not members of NATO, and three of them are the republics of the former USSR: Moldova, Georgia and Armenia.



It should be noted that Yerevan has been actively demonstrating its displeasure to Moscow lately. Before that, Armenia, a member of the CSTO, defiantly refused to conduct joint exercises "Indestructible Brotherhood-2023" on its territory, considering them a threat to national security.

The head of the Armenian government, Nikol Pashinyan, and his entourage became very close to anti-Russian circles in Europe and the United States, so much so that they even began try discredit the peacekeeping efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Moreover, the other day the Constitutional Court of Armenia recognized the obligations enshrined in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) as corresponding to the Basic Law of the country, which it has refused to do since 1999.

    Why does he even need this CSTO??? What's the point of him? If something bad happened to Russia, no one would even think to help. I remember they helped Kazakhstan through the CSTO, so they thanked Russia, increased Russophobia in their country and began to secretly sell weapons to the Nazis (until they caught it) Take the same Armenia. They stopped the war, helped, and in response, rallies with posters Russia get out.

      And when the Azeri invaded Armenia, did Russia help? What you sow is what you reap. V.V. He destroyed everything to maintain power.

        What didn't help? And who stopped the war? Who parted the parties? And the Azerbaijanis invaded not Armenia, but Karabakh.

        To Armenia, or Karabakh, which is an unrecognized territory, Armenia itself?
        And now...

        An old song about the unimportant. If Russia had not intervened, then G. Aliyev would have hosted the parade in Yerevan long ago and declared Armenia to be his own region of Azerbaijan, or even better, Turkey would have returned Armenia back to its borders. Then one could only rejoice for the Armenians. Life would be wonderful with joining Turkey and there would be no need to move west, as is being done now ...
        So, think carefully before writing anything about Russian interference/non-intervention.

      First of all, Russia needs the ODBK, and all members of the organization understand this very well
      and sense in the ODBC in the possibility of influence in the republics
      geopolitics for Russia, albeit limitedly
      the recent use of the odbk in kazakhstan is not mercy to the shepherds there, but security on the borders of russia and countering western manipulations

        I propose to make an unequivocal offer to all Armenians (especially Keosanians, etc.) living in the territory of the Russian Federation - either they are actively working to return their homeland to the mainstream of pro-Russian politics, or they change their place of residence to a mountainous area.

      Yes, they are not difficult to understand. They are looking for those who are not particularly gifted with the mind (to put it mildly). Now Ukrainians. War to the last Ukrainian. Then others will go when the Ukrainians run out. And the Americans will lead from afar (well, it’s not for them to die in the trenches)

    The US Department of Defense has announced the holding of exercises "Defender 23", which will begin on April 22 and last for two months and cover the territory of 10 European countries.
    It is reported that in addition to the United States, troops from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
    Thus, the participation of Armenia is another fake of the network Aliyevshchina, which is so greedy for the corrupt propaganda of many countries, not only Russian. Absheron and Lukoil petrodollars do not smell...

    Everything turns out interesting. It turns out that big, strong Russia (this is considered Russia) is not afraid even of small things like any Estonian-Latvia, and now cunning Armenians are not afraid, and cunning Kazakhs spit in the face. "We haven't even started yet" sounds almost self-deprecating. Why fool around with these alleged partners like Armenia? After all, it is already clear to everyone that they will follow the West, and not Russia.

    I give a standing ovation, well done, only the Russians have not learned how to bypass the rake, for some reason they step on them all the time, history has not taught anything. But the Azerbaijanis are right, they said that the venality of the Armenians would come back to haunt them, they didn’t believe, well, you get it ...

    the vile mug in the photo makes the biggest mistake for the people of Armenia ... in fact, he sends them to hell. Traitors are not spared. And it’s worth starting with the fact that all the cunning Armenians are evicted to Armenia, with the confiscation of property in the Russian Federation. The loyal ones should be resettled in Birobidzhan and Magadan, let them work for the benefit of the Far East. Then, after the victory, it will be possible to return. Devotees can be left in the European part, but resettled by diasporas in specific cities that have lost their population, such as Vorkuta.
    Because we do not need diasporas of enemies in Russian cities, at large. This is corny dangerous for Russians.

    NATO will give the territories inhabited by Armenians to the Turks. And you don't have to sweat anymore. Macron's Armenian diaspora will become larger, and that's all, if someone manages to get rid of it. Well, or Pashinyan finally recognizes Artsakh and does not twitch anymore ...

      Rather, he will accept Armenia into NATO so that there are more missiles near the borders with Russia. Again, everyone was outplayed.

    You also say that in the fall of 1944 the Red Army troops invaded Germany. Exactly. What goes around comes around. It was Armenia, which had just been recognized as a sovereign country, that in 1992 sent its troops into the territory of Azerbaijan, which had just been recognized as a sovereign country. That is, Armenia is a generally recognized aggressor that unleashed a war against Azerbaijan in 1992. And since then, that war has not stopped. So far, no peace treaty has been concluded between Armenia and Azerbaijan. So what are you offended by? The CSTO helps the victims of aggression, not the aggressors themselves. You have been happy for almost 30 years. But finally the war has come to where it started. What were you waiting for?

    Well, this is if Turkey gives its consent ;-)))))))))))) And Turkey will not give its consent to Armenia's entry into NATO without the approval of Azerbaijan. This means that Armenia's entry into NATO depends on whether Armenia manages to negotiate with Azerbaijan or not :-))))))))))))))

    Since 2009, the United States has begun deploying its biological laboratories on the territory of Armenia. By the end of Sargsyan's presidency, their number reached 12. Hundreds of Americans work in these laboratories. Of which every second (if not every first) is a CIA officer. The staff of the US Embassy in Armenia is over 2500 people. Among which are also full of the CIA and the military. So, consider that on the territory of Armenia there have long been NATO troops represented by the main NATO member - the United States.

    Do you remember one old joke? The banner of the Armenians - for a fee 1m x 1m with a painted mouth 2 x 2! That's the whole Armenian philosophy. Otherwise, they are Orthodox Christians. Yes, and a place of honor in the church.

    The comprador authorities, both in the Russian Federation and in Armenia, are worried about their personal pocket. Everyone in the world understands that this government, together with NATO, carried out a coup d'etat in the USSR, robbed the people. Nobody is afraid of her, so Pashinyan is looking for a benefit for himself personally, enriches himself and fades to Paris. All these self-proclaimed small-town princelings, khans, beys, sultans temporarily live in the former Soviet republics of the Soviet Union, they keep everything stolen in NATO countries. Pashinyan has long been a NATO member, what to discuss that Armenia is a potential enemy of Russia, so all the former union republics of the Soviet Union are enemies of Russia, excluding Belarus.
