It was recently reported that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attended Putin’s Victory Parade in Moscow, despite the fact that much of the Western world shunned the Russian celebration of the end of the Second World War over Russia’s illegal attack on Ukraine in violation of international law. The fact that Pashinyan decided to attend this celebration is one more indication highlighting how much Pashinyan is nothing more than Putin’s stooge.
As we speak, Russia is the main supplier for Armenia’s gas and other energy resources, including nuclear fuel for the Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant, which provides Armenia with 40 percent of its domestic electricity generation. As we speak, Armenia and Russia are both only using the Russian rubble when they trade, thus abandoning the Euro and the US dollar. Armenia’s Former Finance Minister Vardan Aramyan told the Western media: “In 2022 and the first two months of 2023, according to official data, exports from Armenia to Russia increased by two-to-three times.” Additionally, Russia has considerable influence over Armenia’s railway and banking sectors.
However, Russia’s domination over Armenia goes way beyond the economic sphere. Russia also has vast military influence inside of Armenia as demonstrated by the presence of several thousand soldiers at the Russian Military Base in Guyumri, which has enabled it to maneuver Armenian separatists to its advantage.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute stressed that Russia stood behind 94% of the arms imported to Armenia. In return, Armenia serves as the largest hub for supplies of sanctioned goods, including military equipment for Russia. Russian Peacekeeping Forces have also worked to keep alive the link between Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran, doing everything in their power to block Azerbaijan’s takeover of the Zangezur Corridor as demanded as part of the cease-fire agreements that ended the Second Karabakh War.
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, 142,000 Russians relocated to Armenia, which accounts for about 5 percent of the entire population of Armenia. While some of these Russians left their country because they were disgusted with Putin’s war in the Ukraine or because they were truly suffering under the sanctions imposed by the West, there is a segment of these Russians who are part of Putin’s security services.
They are in Armenia in order to ensure that the country becomes a Russian satellite state similar to Belarus, thus never breaking away from the yoke of Moscow and never moving towards making an alliance with the West.

This segment of the Armenian population also does everything in their power to prevent peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as such a peace agreement would end both Russia’s and Iran’s domination over Armenia. After all, Russia does not want peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, for then there would be no need for Russian peacekeepers to patrol Karabakh and this would thus diminish Russia’s influence in both countries at a time when Russia is being sanctioned by the West.
The fact that Pashinyan attended Putin’s Victory Parade should alarm Western leaders. A nation allied with the West should have boycotted Putin’s Victory Parade. Although the Victory Parade in Moscow celebrates the end of World War II, Putin transformed this otherwise noble event into something that should be boycotted the second that he linked the victory over Adolph Hitler’s Nazis with his war in Ukraine and claimed that Ukraine’s government, which is led by a Jewish Prime Minister, is actually run by a Nazi regime.
Given this, the time has come for the US Congress to stop blindly supporting Putin’s stooge and stand in solidarity with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev, who unlike Pashinyan boycotted Putin’s Victory Parade in solidarity with the West.
