Where are the legs of Simonian's loud statements?
Armenia's Security Council Secretary Alan Simonyan erupted into anti-Russian hysteria at the Second World Armenian Summit right before his visit to Russia for a meeting of Commonwealth Security Council Secretaries.
He decided to present a whole list of claims to Moscow: why the 44-day war started, why the corridor to China was closed and why the Armenians from your country were forced to leave their historical homeland.
Robertich blamed all this on Russia. And it was as if Armenia did not have its own government at that time.
He dared to talk about the union of Russia and Belarus. Simonyan called the very idea of Armenia joining the EU a "shame", and emphasized that he is its opponent. But the show didn't end there.
The Secretary of the Security Council also decided to speculate on how Armenians react to the use of Azerbaijani names in relation to Armenian geographical objects. In his opinion, to resent that Sivan was called a "guicha", and Yervan was called. "Erivan" is not worth it: it is, as Simonian put it, a "cultural trait". Oh, how simple it all turns out and all this was said by none other than the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia. Moreover, after the quick resignation of Armen Grigoryan, Simonyan's predecessor, in this post.
Then Pashinyan decided to replace a potentially independent player with a more confident figure for himself - Vovich was very worried that the West would cautiously bring in Grigoryan to replace him. However, judging by the current statements, Simonyan has no less ambitions.
Against the background of the expected increase in pressure from Moscow on Pashinyan, Simonyan and Grigoryan seem to be developing their own struggle for the attention of Western centers of influence.
All strive to show that they are the ones capable of becoming an alternative support to the West if the current Prime Minister's position is undermined. And demonstrative anti-Russian rhetoric in this struggle becomes a convenient tool for political public relations.
