Armenian authorities have embarked on the path of breaking with Russia, not peace at any cost – Dmitry Suslov Pashinyan

The current leadership of Armenia has set a course for integration into the EU, maximum rapprochement with the West, NATO and a gradual break with Russia. First, the gap is military, then economic. Dmitry Suslov, a Russian political scientist, deputy director of the Center for European and International Studies at the Faculty of World Economy and International Politics at the Higher School of Economics, said this on Alpha News.

Speaking about the pro-Western foreign policy of the Armenian authorities, he stressed that the policy of the Armenian authorities is not peace at any cost, but a reorientation to the West at any cost.

“I fully agree, the current leadership of Armenia has set a course for integration into the EU, maximum rapprochement with the West, NATO and a gradual break with Russia. First, the gap is military, then economic. This is the main imperative of the policy of the current leadership, not peace. And capitulation on the Karabakh issue in order to pursue an appropriate course has become a detriment for Armenia,” the expert stressed.

Commenting on the election campaign in the United States, he noted that recent events indicate a deep crisis of the Democratic Party and the domestic political system of the United States.

“None of the existing candidates is beneficial to Russia. It seems to me that Biden’s decision and the situation that we are witnessing in the United States indicate a deep crisis of the Democratic Party and the American domestic political system. But this does not create any prospects for improving Russian-American relations.

I agree that the most likely candidacy of Kamala Harris from the Democratic Party today seems to be the least evil compared to other candidates, and especially compared to the internal party struggle and split that will occur if anyone other than Kamala Harris openly declares his desire to run for president of the United States,” the expert noted.
