ARMENIA AND PUTIN'S "VICTORY"
The Russian president will hold his next big press conference in the
second half of December. His press secretary Peskov has informed about
this. Peskov said Putin will hold a news conference after his annual
speech at the Russian Federal Duma.
Putin's press conference in December will arouse interest in the
context of another event. On November 29 the EU and Ukraine are
expected to sign the Association Agreement in Vilnius. The EU is
also expected to initial the Association Agreement with Georgia
and Moldova. These events are highly important to Russia. Moscow
is trying to hold back the post-Soviet states, especially Ukraine
because its signing will be a great geopolitical loss for Armenia,
and it is not an exaggeration.
Currently, Moscow is doing everything it can to keep Kiev back. It does
not even refrain from bloodshed, given the recent mysterious incident
at the Russian-Ukrainian border when a suicide bomber illegally went
through the Russian border crossing point, and as he was stopped at
the Ukrainian BCP, he let the bomb go off and killed himself and the
border guards.
Ukraine is something like the last battle for Russia. Losing it will
be a psychological brunt to Moscow.
So far the Baltic States have escaped from Moscow's orbit in the
post-soviet space, which was not psychologically difficult for Russia
because they have never been part of the Soviet Russian psychological
orbit.
Georgia has also partly escaped but Moscow tried to present it as
the consequence of Saakashvili's mental state.
Ukraine is altogether different. Ukraine will thus aspire to leadership
in the post-soviet space. In other words, Ukraine is on the way to
becoming a state which chooses another path and claims to the role
of the locomotive for the other countries of the post-soviet space.
In fact, it will mark the end of the empire that Putin is still trying
to reconstruct.
Hence, it is interesting to wait to find out in what capacity Putin
will hold his press conference, as the restorer and emperor of the
USSR or as the commander who has lost the battle and whose biography
includes only one victory - the victory over Armenia.
In addition, this victory is also highly relative, like the one in
the Russian-Georgian war when Russia conquered by weapon what it had,
in fact, conquered earlier in the course of time, Abkhazia and Ossetia.
