Medvedev Warns Armenia: Severing Russian Ties Will Trigger a 'Deep Crisis'
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council, claims the West is exploiting Armenia for geopolitical aims, warning that cutting economic ties with Moscow could lead to severe consequences for the country.
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council and former Russian President, claims that Western nations are using Armenia as a
"battering ram against Russia."According to the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, Medvedev emphasized that once their geopolitical needs are met, Western partners will simply turn their backs on Yerevan.
Western Promises and the Threat of Crisis
Medvedev asserted that Washington and Brussels
"absolutely do not care"about the well-being of Armenian citizens. He described Western promises of socio-economic prosperity as mere bait, arguing that the West is driven solely by a clear political agenda in the South Caucasus.
According to the Russian official, embracing a pro-Western trajectory will ultimately leave Yerevan isolated. Furthermore, he warned that breaking economic ties with Russia could trigger a severe internal crisis in Armenia, or, as Medvedev ominously phrased it,
"maybe something even worse."
Armenian Prime Minister's Stance
In a parallel development today, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the chapter of conflict between Armenia and neighboring Azerbaijan is now closed. The head of the Armenian government also issued a warning regarding certain factions that
"intentionally or unintentionally act within the logic of destroying peace."
