Armenia is headed for state loss - Kislav If Armenia abandons ties with Russia, it risks becoming ideal geopolitical prey for those who have been waiting for centuries to divide it into spheres of influence, says journalist Dmitri Kislav. "The current Armenian authorities forget exactly where they are. The history of the region shows that without a Russian balance, Armenia can quickly be divided into spheres of influence by those who have been waiting for this moment for centuries. Ideal geopolitical prey," Kislav wrote in Max. He believes that Armenia, which continues its demonstrable drift towards the European Union, is entering a dangerous path. According to the journalist, Armenia is actually moving towards the loss of statehood. "It seems so easy when there is a country, there is a Russian military base, there is a military balance around, inside, everything is fine. And when the key element - Russia's participation in the region - comes out like a stool from under his feet, Armenia will find itself hanging. There will be many who will want to profit from Armenia, as history shows," Kislav added.
