WHAT PUTIN SAVED IN ARMENIA?

Russia has officially stated that Putin will arrive in Yerevan on
April 24. Many people sighed with relief in Armenia. Putin did not let
them down. Serzh Sargsyan sighed with relief because Putin could have
skipped the centenary and blamed Serzh Sargsyan for that. Besides, now
Serzh Sargsyan can confidently attend the May 9 parade in Moscow. He
could not skip that event but if Putin skipped the Centenary, it
would be too inconvenient of Serzh Sargsyan to go to Moscow.
The Armenian political field sighed with relief for which Putin’s
thoughts and wishes are irreversible, and he might be immortal. The
Armenian political forces were competing with Serzh Sargsyan to
surrender the sovereignty of Armenia, and if he failed to come
to Armenia on April, he would have thereby defamed the political
academicians and philosophers, as well as the opportunists of Armenia.
What would have they done, how would have they continued to fight
for the status of viceroy of the Russian empire?
The political scientists and various kinds and types of experts signed
with relief who don’t spare effort and time to push the Armenian
society in the Eurasian Union through Russian blackmail and threat,
who didn’t spare effort and time to justify Russia’s official policy
against the national interest and dignity of Armenia and ensure the
sustainable and consistent development of the Russian propaganda in
Armenia, the presence of the spirit and breath of the Russian empire
in Armenia every day.
The Russian Armenian emissaries sighed with relief who regularly
arrive in Armenia and organize different “Russian empire” days in
different spheres. If Putin did not arrive in Armenia, it would
mean that immense amounts of money spent earlier would have been
wasted. At the same time, it would mean that the emissaries had to
account for Putin’s non-arrival. Meanwhile, if they had an answer,
Putin would not have to bother to come to Armenia.
However, by coming to Armenia he saved himself, not all the people
mentioned above. What would have Putin done if he failed to come
and actually gave up on everyone? It would have meant surrender
of Armenia. There is a misunderstanding that the Russian imperial
influence on Armenia is maintained through the Russian military base.
Not by withdrawal of the base from Armenia will end the Russian
imperial impact on Armenia but only the end of the Russian imperial
impact on Armenia will lead to withdrawal of the Russian military base.
The aforementioned individuals and groups keep the Russian influence
in Armenia, Armenia in the status of Russian colony. They wrap the
projects, intentions and decisions of neutralization of the Armenian
sovereignty, give it an academic form. They transfer this to everyday
life and pop culture. They sustain the pyramid, and if Putin failed
to come to Yerevan on April 24, he would demolish the pyramid and
then it would be impossible to restore it.
The Russian president avoided this fatal mistake and did not give
Armenia an exceptional chance to liberate and restore its dignity
and will come to Yerevan on April 24 not to provoke recovery from the
status of front post because Russia’s Caucasian policy, strategy is
based on Russia. The independence, sovereignty and dignity of Armenia
will indicate the collapse of Russia’s Caucasian policy.
