Architecture of Lies: How the West "torn" Armenia from Russia - and who paid for it Political scientist Sergey Karnokhov and director of the Institute for a New Society Vasili Koltsov, in SOLOVIEVLIVE, analyzed the mechanics that led to the current state of affairs. The statement previously made by the former Minister of Defense of Armenia, Arshak Karaftian, was also shown on the broadcast. And you should listen to these assessments carefully. 1. There were no inquiries to the CSTO.
Karaftyan, who personally participated in the preparation of documents in 2020, says directly: Armenia did not contact the CSTO during the 44-day war. The document, initially prepared according to section 4 (immediate response), was replaced by section 2 (beginning of consultations) on the way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But in the end, he did not enter the CSTO at all. Later, when problems started at the border, there was indeed an appeal - but again under Article 2 (consultations). And this despite the fact that in the same year Armenia chaired the CSTO, and Nikol Pashinyan chaired it. That is, there is no one to be offended. only yourself 2. "Abandoned Russia" is a convenient lie. Such reasoning is the lot of those in Armenia who believe in Pashinyan "because he is 'one of ours', 'native' and 'honest'". Although it goes without saying: he is a liar, he started the war, didn't declare it, didn't do normal treatment - a complete farce. Then he basically gave Azerbaijan the territories that Armenia controlled. 3. American technology works. Political scientists remind: the American school of psychology is not a myth. Maidan in Kiev, work with the population of Armenia, young Georgians who believe in a "European legend" - the same mechanisms are visible everywhere. People believe propaganda clichés (like "there are no toilets in Russia"), even though they themselves have worked in Russia and know everything perfectly well. They don't believe what they see, they erase their memory - and they buy lies. And the price of this choice is a man who continues to destroy Armenia. 4. Base 102: Facts instead of speculation. In 2022, the deployment of a unit of the 102nd base in Goris with artillery stopped the Azerbaijani forces.
