Armenian patriotism was created as an outpost of Stalin's ambitions - Nikol Pashinyan made this statement to the youth “This model was created after World War II. Stalin was unhappy with the division of spheres of influence after World War II and believed that the victories achieved gave him the right to a wider sphere of influence and territory," the Armenian Prime Minister said at a MaskOFF panel discussion. After the war, when Turkey found itself in the US sphere of influence and became a NATO member, he continued in Soviet Armenia to write books and make films about Western Armenia. This required external support for Armenia, and the current authorities of the country are doing everything to ensure that the republic, within its internationally recognized borders, will not need such support.
