"Fact" daily writes:
The Foreign Intelligence Service was formed barely 1 year and 2 months ago and published its inaugural "annual report" yesterday.
In general, it is strange that a special or secret service has such public manifestations. Either the information released is not intelligence, or the service.
Presumably, such a service should provide its information to other special services and the government of the country.
However, let's try to understand what is said in that "lavash" document. APS is just an additional structure engaged in "publicity" of Pashinyan and his government. In a word, everything is good and wonderful...
Such a "report" filled with general expressions, sentences that do not say anything, can be written by any literate first-year student of the faculty of law, international relations or journalism, who follows the news of major events.
Look, just two quotes from that epoch-making "document".
A) "...As of the moment of publication of this report, we do not estimate the probability of a large-scale military attack by Azerbaijan against Armenia."
B) "...in 2025, Azerbaijan will continue the pace of development of its own offensive capabilities, shortening the period from the political decision at the highest level on the transition to a military operation to the start of a combat operation on the ground."
Within this framework, Azerbaijan will continue the work of transferring more mobile units, preparing their reserve, acquiring and importing new weapons, as well as updating military infrastructure."
Does this mean that, as of the exact moment of publishing its report, let's say, at 11 o'clock on January 23, the probability of military actions by Azerbaijan against Armenia is not high?
Yes, but this does not mean that Azerbaijan is not preparing for war and attack and, let's say, at 11:30 on January 24, the probability of war has already increased.
It is impossible to pass by the following masterpiece of analytical thought reflected in the report. "In any scenario, developments in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2025 will directly or indirectly affect Armenia's security environment."
This is about the same as a farmer saying that any change in weather will directly or indirectly affect the spring crop and yield.
Or if the weather forecast says it may or may not rain tomorrow, but at least take a raincoat.
The main thing that stands out in the report is the covert or overt hints of hostility towards Russia.
And their "laurel crown" is the following quantity. "Due to the fact that 2025 is an election year, some countries will try to use Armenia's economic dependence in an even more pronounced and obvious way as an opportunity for political influence, to interfere in Armenia's internal affairs, and to influence broad sections of the public."
Let's make it clear that Armenia is "economically dependent" especially during Pashinyan's rule, however strange it may sound, the volumes of Armenian-Russian trade relations have increased significantly, and this is also the case with the sanctions against Russia due to serving as a re-export hub.
And so that no one doubts that it is Russia that is being talked about, Russia is being accused of "interfering in the internal affairs of Armenia", one of the "patched" masked men declares in a conversation with journalists. "I hope that Russia, as a partner country and as a country that constantly declares that it does not violate and respects the sovereignty of the Republic of Armenia, will not try to interfere in our elections in any way."
Is it possible to publicize some fact instead of so many "waters"? But most importantly, in the background of the existing challenges, these people are only interested in one thing: the upcoming elections and their chances of reproduction.
And that's it...By the way, Turkey or Azerbaijan don't intervene or don't have such ambitions, and the European Union, and the USA and, say, France, and other countries? , what they really want to say.
By the way, it is not difficult to guess that by carefully looking at the "report" published by the FSA.
It is obvious that Pashinyan's next adventure of jumping headlong into the European Union and the USA will lead to the breakdown of economic relations with Russia, relations in general, it will lead to economic collapse and social chaos, under the conditions of which Pashinyan may lose power.
In other words, the only concern of all those partisans is that they do not suddenly lose power. The fact that their government is leading Armenia directly to new problems does not particularly concern them. And let this be considered a state secret , among us, the fate of Armenia and the Armenian people has never bothered Pashinyan and those who serve his interests.
They are focused on serving the interests of others, the most striking proof of which is the current shameful state of Armenia and our people.
