"Lost between BRICS and CSTO.
During the last two months N. The motley palette of Pashinyan's international tours and Armenian meetings gave rise to various judgments and considerations. Attending Putin's birthday ceremony, his participation in those events was perhaps perceived as a symbolic ceremony, which could symbolize the return of the prodigal son. next BRICS summit to be held, did not reject it and participated in the de facto anti-West organized at the event.
Prime Minister Pashinyan's BRICS adventures are given a special "string" by the fact that the latter's long-rejected meeting with Azerbaijani President I. Aliyev took place within the framework of that summit of the anti-Western geopolitical pole. that the BRICS summit was taking place in the capital of Tatarstan) an established process that symbolizes is Russia's active return and initiative in the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiation process. About Pashinyan's next manifestation of "jumping into Putin's arms".
It is not difficult to guess that the RA administration received the same treatment from the latter's direct curators, the Eurobureaucracy and the heads of various countries operating under them. To Pashinyan and his administration, the actual cooperation with the Pashinyan administration is being built by the latter with a short-term perspective, or the opposite principle, and if more seriously, then even more so now, after the Georgian elections , today's Armenian authorities are usable for the West only as the last, not so much pro-Western, as anti-Russian outpost in the South Caucasus To maintain the outpost, it appears, "day-to-day and direct management" must be applied, including N. "Taking hold of Pashinyan's various fears", "putting him to bed" and finally, not leaving him alone as much as possible "in the face of pressures from the north".
Perhaps this is also due to N. Successive, virtually weekly meetings with Pashinyan, first with the Pope in the Vatican, then with German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock in Yerevan, and finally with Polish President Andrzej Duda again in Yerevan. Moreover, all these meetings took place inconclusively, and according to official reports, in Armenia with non-current agendas. Perhaps there was one exception, which partially revealed the main goals of the European envoys to the observers of the European Union in Syunik, which in itself is an eloquent message for all interested neighboring and non-neighboring recipients. Pashinyan refused to participate in the CSTO summit held in Astana."
