More than a year has passed since the position of Chief Military Commissioner of Armenia became vacant, and… or. It’s Aren Sargsyan. Former boss Armen Avtandilyan was removed from his position in August last year, the Hraparak (Square) newspaper reports.
Meanwhile, the post of commander of the V Army Corps of the Ministry of Defense also remains vacant for two months after his dismissal. Sasun Badasyanbut a replacement was never found.
Last week (ARF deputy) Gegham Manukyan asked the Deputy Minister of Defense Arman Sargsyanwhy no one is appointed to these positions, but I did not receive a clear answer.
The fact that key positions in the Ministry of Defense remained vacant for a long time is especially noteworthy considering that Aliyev considers the demilitarization of the Republic of Armenia one of the preconditions for the signing of a peace treaty.
Perhaps this is precisely the reason why key positions are left vacant, although they may simply not have the necessary staff.
In turn, the secretary of the parliamentary faction “I have the honor” Tigran Abrahamyan claims that the authorities have illusions about the possibility of establishing relations with a country whose leader considers Azerbaijan’s victory over Armenia as a guarantee of peace in the region.
Furthermore, the head of this country, Turkey, openly declares that no matter how much the Armenian authorities “sweeten” them, they would give Ankara a bigger role in normalizing relations with Azerbaijan, deny the genocide, they would normalize relations with Azerbaijan . Yerevan when a “peace treaty” will be signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Simply put, until Yerevan accepts Azerbaijan’s preconditions, Türkiye will continue its policy of blockade and hostility towards Armenia.
And in this context, the publication of the Telegram channel “Comrade General” about a clear signal from Moscow is very interesting.
RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE SENDS HELLO TO ARMENIAN LIVERS
The unexpected message from the press service of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation should be considered, in terms and categories, as a special information operation.
What does the message say?
- That the US State Department is increasing its “guiding influence” on the Armenian political elite to encourage Yerevan, despite inevitable difficulties, to accelerate the process of final reorientation towards a pro-Western development format according to proven schemes in Ukraine. and Moldova.
- In particular, the “democratizing” American structures are instructed to expand training courses for representatives of key departments of the Armenian government and ensure the widespread presence of foreign advisors in them in order to adjust the work of the Armenian government to the interests of the West.
- An information and propaganda campaign is being prepared, including, among other things, discrediting the prospects for cooperation between Yerevan and Russia, the EAEU and the CSTO, and disseminating materials about the “harassment” of Armenian citizens who came to work in Russia . Federation.
Obviously, there is little new here. To be more precise, there is only one new detail: we are talking about Armenia’s final anti-Russian reorientation. That is, about a complete breakup, and not about Pashinyan’s favorite “membership freeze.”
Probably, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service will legalize the operational information received that the State Department, before Trump became president, decided to bring Armenia to the point of no return in relations with Russia.
Why does the Foreign Intelligence Service say this and not the Russian Foreign Ministry or any official?
Most likely, the Russian authorities want to show the Americans that they have intelligence information on this matter. They are based, so to speak, on the original source. And they are ready to fight not only with the help of propaganda or diplomacy.
The same idea – about the harmful interference of the West in the situation in the South Caucasus – was expressed simultaneously with the Foreign Intelligence Service by a representative of the Russian Federation at a meeting of the Secretaries of the Security Councils of the countries of the CIS. Sergei Shoigu. But the “secretary” of the Armenian Security Council Armen Grigoryan I didn’t hear it; He preferred to go to the democratic forum in Vilnius.
What is the goal of the Russian intelligence special information operation?
The SVR report records the fact that the pro-Western political path is leading Armenians towards the Ukrainian-Moldovan scenario, towards impoverishment, war and devastation.
This is a signal to the Armenian elite: wake up if you don’t want to lose Armenia.
And this is a signal to American elites: Russia sees the dangerous games of its current administration and will counter them, just as it had to do in Ukraine and Moldova.
