Political scientist Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan wrote on his Facebook page.
"The fall of Assad's power shows the weakness of his supporters, Russia and Iran.
This is the assessment of Kaya Callas, head of EU diplomacy. And not only him.
The world sees what is happening with Russia's allies. The world also sees what successes US allies are achieving.
And this is an important reality that cannot be ignored.
Especially the Russians are not allowed.
The West plays an extremely competent game against Russia.
By killing Ukraine, the West clears the geopolitical board of Russia's allies.
Of course, Russia will win in Ukraine. But who needs such a victory? Again to the West.
For a simple reason: because Ukraine, in its former form, was a headache for the West. Moreover, it was a headache both as an ally of Russia and as an affiliate of the West.
That country had to be cut off from the Russians and divided into small parts. The problem is solved. After that, let the Russians celebrate as much as they want.
All the same, everyone understands that it is a Pyrrhic victory. Today's Russia does not serve its geopolitical interests. For Moscow, they have become an object of trade.
The first sign of that reality for me was in 2016. It was the April war.
Well, I was finally convinced after 2018. in September, Talysh national figure Fahroddin Aboszoda was arrested in Moscow and handed over to Azerbaijan. The same applies to Iran. I will refer to the politics of Tehran.
Is it surprising that Russia's enemies are happy to buy what Russia itself is selling? Of course not. So what is Russia's salvation?
"The enemy?" Hardly. Russia was given the answer of that "Oreshnik" in Syria.
I'm sure they understand it well in Moscow. I think they also know the solutions in Moscow. it is simply necessary to stop the trade of national interests.
Also, not to sell to the allies, even if the allies have leaders like Nikolpashinyans.
All this must be stopped before it's too late. That's all. To be continued...".
