Speaking with Alpha News, Americanist and political scientist Rafael Ordukhanyan commented on the Armenia-US strategic partnership agreement. According to the expert, this is the end of not only allied but also friendly relations between Armenia and Russia.

“This is the direct path to leaving the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Eurasian Economic Union. In my opinion, this is the path of Judas and a traitor. Pashinyan himself does not understand what he is doing, because it was simply impossible to deliberately do more harm to Armenia. What he is doing is breaking ties with Russia; only a recruited person could act like that. The fact that the Russian ambassador to Armenia was handed a protest note because of the news program is funny on the one hand, but on the other hand, it shows the level of relations between Armenia and Russia.

We can already state that relations between Russia and Armenia are now at such a level that they actually no longer exist. All economic programs are being curtailed. And in fact, this is the end of not only allied but also friendly relations. This will have, to our deep regret, the most widespread consequences that will affect trade relations, economic relations, and even the diaspora. As for America’s position and why it needs this agreement, it has one goal: to knock one more friend, ally, out of Russia’s sphere of influence,” Ordukhanyan concluded.
