The Armenians slightly calmed down during the last period of Russian
ex-President Boris Yeltsin's and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin's presidency and activated after Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev. This activity is directed against Russia, and especially
against the interests of Russia in the Caucasus region.
For example, famous actor Armen Jigharkhanyan, who lives in Moscow,
has been recently making statements to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. Official Yerevan does not like these statements. Therefore,
his name is not on the list of Moscow's rich Armenians, who got the
positions from the Russian government and participate in social and
political life of the country.
The Armenians, who openly or covertly support the Armenian separatism
and anti-Russian activity of Armenia, get positions and are rewarded
by the current leadership of Russia.
Surrounding the Russian leadership, the Armenians are trying to prevent
it from thinking independently and to make decisions. A good example
is the collapse of the USSR under the guise of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. Although there were periods when Russian politicians and
officials put much more pressure on Azerbaijan, than the Armenians.
The growing influence of the Armenians in the Kremlin stipulates the
collapse of Russia's policy in the Caucasus because the main goal
of the Armenians is to keep Russia's relations with the Caucasian
peoples in its monopoly. Because of this, Russia has never been able
to establish normal relations with the Georgians, Azerbaijanis and
the peoples of the North Caucasus. Russia's ties with the peoples of
the Caucasus must be established with the help of the Armenians. In
this case, the Russian people will more need the Armenians.
The Armenians need Russia to threaten its neighbors. Armenia does not
have normal relations with any of the four neighboring countries. Even
the Armenian-Iranian relations are rather inconsistent. A group of
people in Iran thinks that Armenia is tired of Russia and is ready
to integrate with Iran any moment.
Armenian officials and politicians have a deeply thought-out policy
and strategy toward Iran, which significantly helps Armenia. The
experts knowing Armenia understand very well the purpose of this
policy. Armenia protects its "anti-Iranian plans" for the future for
the sake of its political goals.
Armenian territorial claims against Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia
are obvious. But in terms of the territory, population and other
resources, Armenia is a small country. It can not threaten anybody
alone. Therefore, Armenia has a military base of the Russian Federation
on its territory on its own means.
Controversial Armenia tries first to create conflicts against Russia
for it to come under Armenian influence. Otherwise, it is impossible
to explain the behavior of the Armenians, discussing the problems of
the Northern Caucasus in Europe and the Baltics, although they have
no geographical and ethnic links with the North Caucasus.
However, if necessary the Armenians build mosques for Muslims in
the North Caucasus. There are many examples of these "disservices"
provided to Russia by Armenia. Armenia openly supports the independence
movement of the North Caucasus peoples, including Chechens.
Russia is a source of resources for Armenia. While granting loans to
Armenia, the international financial institutions or countries are
interested in Russia's financial state, rather than Armenian. It
is known where Armenia spends the financial resources received
from Russia.
Armenia knows what it does, by protracting the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. The Armenians, who caused a serious blow to Russia and the
image of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, want to make differences
in the relations between Medvedev and Putin now.
At present, the West thinks that Russia has no power in the Caucasus.
Armenians have done everything to make such an opinion about Russia.
Armenians think that Russia will soon get tired of Azerbaijan and
Azerbaijan - of Russia. In this case, the Armenians will be able
to easily establish relations with Turkey. At present, the reason
for the lack of normal relations with Turkey is Azerbaijan. Russia
benefits from this. The Armenians' complex policy is designed for
violating the geostrategic stability in the region.
Sometimes, Armenia and Russia want to "punish" their neighbors and
large countries, and then they think about China. On the one hand,
Armenia has secretly signed a strategic cooperation agreement with
NATO, on the other hand, it calmly calls itself a strategic partner of
Russia. The most interesting is that Russia also considers Armenia as
its strategic partner. The actions of Armenia and the Armenians more
intensified during Medvedev's presidency. The Armenians' conflict
features threaten not only the presidents but also the countries
they lead.
