Armenia’s miserable dilemma
Unfortunately, this post is maddeningly accurate. Keep in mind that Putin signed a military alliance agreement with Azerbaijan the day before he invaded Ukraine. I perceive that this is an unveiled threat to Armenia: do as you are told, or we'll look the other way when you get invaded and (most likely) massacred by our new ally.A widespread opinion is that the 2020 war was enabled/allowed by Russia to punish Armenia for its drift towards the West. Personally I find this scenario reasonably probable.
