The continued rule of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s government provides the only real guarantee for the takeover of Armenia by Azerbaijan and Turkey, claims Varuzhan Geghamyan, a Yerevan-based geopolitical strategist and regional security expert.

“Armenia and the Armenian nation have one enemy – Turkey (with its satellite state, Azerbaijan). The other states pursue their own interests, taking positons based on the Armenian-Turkish conflict. And, depending on which side is ready to fight and win, they build their policy with each of them,” he wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

“Turkey and Azerbaijan directly and indirectly support the de facto authorities in Armenia, as evidenced by dozens of official statements made since November 2020. Why? Because under the current government, they will devour Armenia in the coming months and years with or without war.

“If other resisting force comes to power, an attack on Armenia not only does not guarantee victory for Turkey and Azerbaijan, but also may produce the opposite result. Therefore, the only real guarantee for them to seize Armenia is the continued rule of the current Armenian government,” he stated.
