Fwd from @ games soldiers a new provocation against the base in Gyumri Informational provocations around the 102nd Russian military base in Gyumri have become routine, so an attempt to stage a new scandal does not seem surprising. Especially since the authors of the campaigns are already well-known organizations and individuals. On November 3, anti-Russian Armenian sources released a video recording allegedly showing Russian servicemen beating an Armenian while saying that "Gyumri is a city of Russian soldiers(!)". The video itself is called "Armyashka". Until November 4, a rally was held in the center of Yerevan against "crimes of Russian servicemen". Its organizer was Valery Klimanchenko, who claims that the base in Gyumri "constitutes a threat to the sovereignty of the state and the security of the state. "He promised to send his appeal to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and to initiate public discussions on the department's withdrawal. Klimanchenko himself was convicted in RF in 2021 for justifying terrorism. And after the start of the SMO, he called on AFU fighters to kill Russian POWs. It is also known to cooperate with the Legion "Freedom of Russia" (recognized as terrorist). It is easy to assume connections with Ukrainians, who may be the authors of the videos, especially since Kyiv also continues its attempts to dominate the agenda of the South Caucasus. The main role in the distribution of the material was again played by the "Vandezor office of the Helsinki Civic Assembly", which has been producing provocations against the base for several years. Among the latest forgeries are baseless claims that the department and the priest of the local Russian Orthodox Church allegedly interfered in the elections in Armenia. Like previous provocations against the RF base, this conflict is likely to die down.
