    Armenia is a historical Russian ally

    Israel is our greatest ally?

    Remember USS Liberty folks?!

      Historical, yes. They have recently realized that Russia does not have their back and the relationship has changed.

        No doubt and good policy shift imho but west ain’t gonna save them now, they really can’t.

        Their best bet is Iran who can actually do something and has a reason to do so but that’s another mistake tbh too.

        Not really sure what Armenia can do at this point since Azerbaijan appears to be on a war path and has capability to execute.

      Russia is withdrawing troops from Armenia

      Armenia doesn’t support the war in Ukraine

      Armenia had a war with Azerbaijan which was supplied with weapons by Belarus, which is closely integrated with Russia

      Study a little bit of the history of great power alliances and the group of “historically allied with Russia” becomes pretty large.

      Russia is siding with Azerbaijan currently because EU was replacing Russian gas with theirs

      Armenia isn’t impressed with their protector siding with the country killing them
