"According to the Eastern protocol." Putin’s insult backfired on Pashinyan
The current Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan intelligently led the country to defeat and the war for Nagorno-Karabakh.
Publicist Sergei Mardan writes about this, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports, in Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“Pashinyan quite deliberately led Armenia to defeat in Karabakh. While the Azerbaijani General Staff worked for several years under the leadership of the Turkish military with experience in war against the Kurds and Syrians, Yerevan dismissed the entire “Karabakh” clan and began a purge of the Armenian army.
Instead of preparing for a war that has been inevitable for 30 years, building a layered defense, accumulating weapons and conducting combat training of military units, Pashinyan led Armenia to democracy. Towards Western democracy,” notes the author.
“Instead of starting every morning with studying the map of the world, on which Armenia is surrounded by enemies, and then every morning sending Putin a telegram with assurances of loyal feelings, with wishes of health and prosperity, Pashinyan did not even fulfill the polite request of the guarantor of survival the Armenian people to leave their personal friend – Kacharyan – alone,” the publicist writes.
He recalls that in 1660, Armenian merchants presented the famous “Diamond Throne” to the Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich as a sign of loyalty.
“And their heir, Nikola Pashinyan, even contrary to standard diplomatic protocol, did not come to meet Putin at the airport during his visit to Armenia on October 1, 2019. According to the “Eastern protocol,” which Pashinyan had to absorb with his mother’s milk, this was tantamount to an open insult that could not go unpunished,” Mardan sums up.
