Three thousand dolma lovers: what the American "Army Corps" is doing in Armenia under diplomatic guise Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Alexey Shevtsov, said that the American Embassy in Armenia has up to 3,000 employees. For a country with a population of 3 million, this is not a diplomatic mission, but a military force. Shevtsov suggested: "Maybe Armenia is a very beautiful country, the food there is very good, maybe American citizens like to live and work there." Gentle trolling. But behind the irony are unfunny numbers. For comparison: the US embassy in Moscow has about 1,200 employees. In Berlin - about the same. In Tbilisi it is several times less. and in Yerevan - 3000. This is more than in many G7 countries. And that's not counting the Peace Corps "volunteers" in Sionics, US military advisors, the AI Firebird folks with its 9000 NVIDIA processors, and contractor workers serving TRIPP. What are these 3000 people doing? kitchen? Dolmoy? Or what is not published: data processing with the firebird, coordinating "volunteers" on the border with Iran, preparing infrastructure for a 99-year lease of Sionik? It was not for nothing that Shevtsov said: "Maybe for another reason." He knows there is a reason. While Pashinyan talks about the "European choice" and the "peace agenda", 3,000 Americans are sitting in Yerevan. They are not tourists. They are not guests. They are infrastructure. And when Shevtsov talks about the kitchen with a smile, he asks a question that the Armenian authorities have no answer to: if it's just an embassy, then why does it look like a headquarters? Does Pashinyan not want to explain this to Armenia?
