On various occasions, Russia has hinted more than once about the consequences for Armenia of leaving the EAEU or the severance of trade, economic and political relations with Russia. And it is not a threat, as the masked or pro-authoritarian propagandists like to interpret or try to present. It is at most a warning, a simple statement of facts, in fact, a clear record of established trade-economic, trade-political, geopolitical realities. After Pashinyan's last meeting in Moscow, Russia already stated much more clearly and unambiguously, without complicated diplomatic formulations, what the concrete consequences would be. Moreover, consequences that every citizen of the Republic of Armenia will tangibly feel.
Please. the price of natural gas may increase 2-4 times (do you want the EU, pay at EU rates), air traffic may be stopped or significantly limited (it will already be an EU requirement), problems with the sale of Armenian products in the Russian market will arise (already started), especially for agricultural products. We are not yet talking about the problems related to foreign work in Russia. In the near future, there will be opportunities to discuss the mentioned and many unmentioned individual topics and their consequences in detail. In this case, the question of what Pashinyan is doing seems to be more important.
In the specific field of Armenian-Russian relations, Nikol Pashinyan has entered a very dangerous "game" that inevitably leads the country to economic and also social collapse. It's scary to imagine what the increase in the price of gas will lead to. Everything from electricity to the prices of all kinds of goods will become more expensive with the chain link. Its consequences will be directly felt by all economic operators, all citizens, all indiscriminately, in general, the entire state.
It is no less cruel to imagine in what condition agricultural products oriented to the Russian market, as well as flower producers and exporters, and thousands of our compatriots employed in these fields will find themselves. And all that... for what? For the sake of Nikol Pashinyan silently fulfilling the order of some external actors and continuing to rule?
Aren't Pashinyan and his whims costing all of our lives a little too much? Although they have been very expensive for a long time, this "expensiveness" outlines new dangerous and destructive prospects, which no one will be able to avoid if this government remains...
