Speaking with Alpha News, Americanist and political scientist Rafael Ordukhanyan commented on the Armenia-US strategic partnership agreement, the phone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Nikol Pashinyan, as well as the comprehensive partnership agreement between Iran and Russia.

“Will America ensure Armenia’s security? Absolutely not. It will not do it under any circumstances. America will never do anything that would harm one of its main partners, i.e., Turkey. And Turkey, at least under Erdogan, will pursue an absolutely purposeful and unconditional pro-Azerbaijani position. By de facto withdrawing from the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union, Armenia is left alone with two enemies,” Ordukhanyan said.

According to the expert, Armenia has lost its status as a friendly country for Russia.

“I believe that Pashinyan and his team are leading Armenia to disaster. Nikol Pashinyan is a Judas who sold out his homeland and his compatriots. Armenia has already lost its status for Russia, not just as an ally but even as a friendly country. Mirzoyan’s visit to Moscow is absolutely unnecessary now. In my opinion, Russia has already made a decision regarding Armenia’s status, so this visit will not solve anything unless they bring some new points of a drastically new foreign policy in relations with Russia. But I think even in this case, there will no longer be any trust in this leadership.

Russia has enough other things to do now that need to be addressed urgently. Now Armenia is no longer a priority. The choice has been made by the Armenian authorities. A little time will pass, and then it will be clear that this is a road to nowhere, a road to disaster, a road to the beginning of the end of Armenian statehood,” Ordukhanyan said.
