August 23 marked the 35th anniversary of Armenia’s adoption of its Declaration of Independence. The Transcaucasian republic approached the anniversary under less-than-ideal circumstances. It lost control of Nagorno-Karabakh, destroyed its alliance with Russia, and failed to reach lasting agreements with Azerbaijan and Turkey. Still, Armenia received praise from left-liberal elites in Brussels. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan continues to pursue a course aimed at gradually breaking away from the Kremlin’s sphere of influence. His short-term goal is to conclude a peace treaty with Baku. Long-term goal is to begin the process of European integration similar to that of neighboring Georgia. Pashinyan’s critics claim his policy betrays the interests of the Armenian nation. The consequences of this course could be costly for his country.
In his address on the anniversary of the Declaration, Nikol Pashinyan made several perplexing statements.
“The model of patriotism that the Soviet Union created for us Armenians expressed the ambitions of that state—the USSR, which won World War II and entered into confrontation with the North Atlantic Alliance in the southwestern direction. On the other hand, this model was designed to export patriotic ideas from the Armenian SSR beyond its borders to prevent their local manifestation. This ideology was instilled over decades through books, films, plays, and theatrical productions. It was precisely this social and psychological environment that led to the Karabakh movement. We were all carriers of the psychology created by the Soviet Union, and this psychology was passed on to the generations that had already formed in the Republic of Armenia in the 1990s,” said the Armenian prime minister.
So, he accused Moscow of creating a separatist movement in Nagorno-Karabakh. Russia’s goal was to allegedly maintain a high degree of Turkophobia among the Armenian people. The Nagorno-Karabakh issue also prevented Armenia from breaking away from the Kremlin. These arguments are by no means new. Back in 1998, a young Pashinyan wrote in the Molorak newspaper that the introduction of Soviet troops into Baku in 1990 was a crime. But the Soviet army entered the capital of Azerbaijan precisely to protect the Armenian population from pogroms. However, as a public and political figure, Pashinyan’s core narrative is to accuse the Kremlin of all sins.
“I understand that the same hand [Russia] carried out pogroms in Baku, Sumgait, Shaumyan, Fergana, and Adana, as well as in Western Armenia in 1915,” he wrote in an article 27 years ago.
Accusing Russia of the Armenian genocide carried out by the Ottoman Empire is a direct insult to Armenians worldwide. Such accusations are nonsense. Similarly absurd are the claims that Moscow created the Karabakh movement. Nagorno-Karabakh separatism was precisely what began the territorial disintegration of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh Committee was created in 1987. It gained the sympathy of the entire liberal intellectuals of the USSR. The renowned opponent of communist rule and dissident, Andrei Sakharov, publicly appealed to Mikhail Gorbachev, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, demanding that Nagorno-Karabakh be annexed to the Armenian SSR.
During those years, Azerbaijan acted as a pro-Moscow Soviet republic. “Until 1988, the vast majority of Azerbaijanis were loyal to the USSR, the ‘socialist system,’ and Russia,” says Zardush Ali-Zade, an anti-Soviet Popular Front of Azerbaijan activist. Why would Moscow support Armenian separatists who were destabilizing the South Caucasus and calling into question the Soviet Union’s constitutional foundations? In 1991, the Soviet army carried out Operation Ring. Armenian historiography from the 1990s and 2010s referred to these events as “ethnic cleansing.” The Kremlin was accused of supporting the “Azerbaijani partyocracy.”
Pashinyan is indifferent to historical accuracy. He acts based on short-term political interests. He believes that making serious concessions to Azerbaijan and normalizing relations with Turkey will allow Armenia to fall under the influence of the U.S. and the EU. Yet, these calculations do not seem well thought out. Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, is well aware of Armenia’s weak position and sees that its membership in the Russian military-political bloc, the CSTO, has become nominal. This allows him to exert increasing pressure on Yerevan. Baku’s demands are growing. The Azerbaijani leadership is demanding changes to the Armenian Constitution, the withdrawal of European Union observers from border areas, and the surrender of weapons previously acquired for the Armenian Armed Forces.

The agreement signed by Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev in the presence of U.S. President Donald Trump on August 11, 2025, does not put an end to the long history of confrontation between the two countries. It is not a peace treaty. There is a high probability that the Washington agreement will suffer the same fate as the November 9, 2020, Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement. For instance, Baku has not removed the issue of returning Azerbaijani refugees to Armenia from the agenda.
On June 18, just a month and a half before the meeting at the White House, Aliyev stated:
“Special attention must be paid to the issue of the violent expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis from Western Azerbaijan, the territory of Armenia, since the beginning of the last century, who were subjected to ethnic cleansing. This is a necessary condition for establishing peace, reconciliation, and respect for human rights in the region.”
The priorities are clearly defined. Armenia is Western Azerbaijan. And Azerbaijanis must return there. At the end of the Soviet era, before the escalation of interethnic conflicts, approximately 160,000 ethnic Azerbaijanis lived in the Armenian SSR. Now their number, together with their descendants, is at least twice as large. Repatriation will lead to a radical change in the ethnocultural composition of the Republic of Armenia. And it will give Baku a reason to make new claims. Nikol Pashinyan is deceiving his people and himself, thinking that he can take Russia out of the game and thus achieve mutual understanding with Armenia’s historical enemies. Well, as the ancients said, Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. The world wants to be deceived, so let it be deceived.

the problem is the jews who control everything and even mister putin doing their bidding by wearing the yarmukle and huging their wailing wall. this shows who they serve they serve israel and the jews not the armenian russian or azerbaijani people. aliyev is a israeli pawn and the jews in azerbaijan control its military and industry the average azerbaijani is poor and has nothing of value. pashinyan is another jew serving pawn who sells out the armenian people
remember how mr putin sold assad out last december. they all do israels bidding they give the jews everything they want at the expense of the people they supposedly represent.
we all need to be aware of the fact that the jews have absolute control and that they control the west and the east and that their ultimate goal is oir destruction. and they do everything in their power to achieve that goal and create wa rs false narratives. conflict self destructice agendas such as lgbtiq+ massive immigration hollywood prpsganda so on and on. everything is done to destroy us.
and we can only put an end to it when we all recognize its the jews who are doing it to us and bring them to justice for once and for all. the w ar in ukraine can end today if both the russian and ukranian militaries unite and start taking out the jews who run moscow and kiev today.
there is no conflict between armenia and azerbaijan if todag both pashinyan and aliyev are removed from power by either there people or the military and if the jews in azerbaijan are all rounded up in camps and seperated from azerbaijani society and removed from all their instituations. then there can be peace between both peoples very quickly and with full return of armenians to artsakh.
it was israel who controls azerbaijan and who controls their military go on x search yosef mizrachi azerbaijan he will tell you how all the military in azerbaijan is isrselis. and mr putin and iran both let it happen under their watch no one dous what ever it takes to remove the jewish problem from the caucasus once and for all.
for israel azerbaijan was a tool they used to field test their geno cide of gaza they did it on the armenians first. they boiled the frog aby starvation and chased them from their homeland. they used their hasbara division to spam.thousands of bot accounts in favor of azerbaijan censoring any opposition. they used azerbaijan to a ss a ss inate iranian president raisi and to launch drones and israeli f35 to bomb iran into sub m ission.
how can both russia and iran allow this to happen if they are not controlled by jews i tell you? putin wears a yarmukle and hugs the wailing wall with his jewish masters. they are controlled by jews and they are not doing whats in the interest of their people. the interest of their people would be to remove aliyev from power and remove the jewish influence from azerbaijan for once and for all so peace in the caucasus can be restored.
if iran and russia united in a push on azerbaijan aliyev would be gone tomorrow. and the main culprit and enemy in the region would be subdued. and the jews would loose their influence over azerbaijan as well as their control over its oil forever. it would be a massive loss for the israeli economy. so why not do whatever it takes and wipe out aliyev and his jews pu ppetmasters for once and for all!
no one cares with russia
they only want distance
if russia was not under the control of the chabbad lubovich jews aliyev would by now have been hung from a lamp pole in baku along with his jewish pupp et ma sters. the russian army would have restored authority and removed that cockroach from office. none of this has happened and israel is stronger then ever commiting any kind of anti human right crime you can imagine. unchecked un hindered because the shabbosgoy leaders let them.get away with everything.

if other individuals tried this crap against western interests in other parts of the world they would suffer “heart attacks” “aggressive cancers” “suicides” and plain bargain-bucket assassinations.
russia is so easy going
the west is controlled by jews and their interests are jewish interests that are leading towards our destruction. it are important facts we need to be aware of. if the west was not controlled hy jews israel would already have faced a international coalition to push a regime change upon them for the geno cide they are commiting in gaza
no western leader dous anything tonstop them and this is how you can tell they are controlled by jews.
lots of big lies here – and also in the comments paid for, as usual, by the jesuits.
its not the jesuits its the jews who are doing it to us!
americunts are inferior to jews
they are not inferior they are just fu lly m ind con trol le d by them. through propaganda and su b version fake ho lo ho ax m ovies and zio nist pastors like pas tor hagee who pr each them that they need to su bmit to these jews and serve them. if more americans were aware of this fact they would make these jews dissappear. and the united states would be far less of an evil empire then it is today. you have work to do to spread the message and wake people up from the jewish matrix.
americans have every reason to h ate jews if they knew what they have done to them how they commited 911 on them as a false flag to make them wage wa rs for them resulting in many many thousan ds d ed. stealing their technology their surplus billions stolen and transfered to the israel colonial project. and these jews are poisoning their food their water supply everything weaponizing ticks and musquitos watch bill gates and you understand.
