If Armenian government re-elected in June elections, Russian-Armenian  relations will be at risk

ArmInfo.  If the current Armenian government is re-elected in the June parliamentary elections, Russian-Armenian relations will be at risk. This was  stated by Konstantin Zatulin, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma  Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration, and Relations with  Compatriots, in an interview with journalists on the sidelines of a  meeting of the Armenian- Russian "Lazarev Club." 

"Under the current Armenian government, assuming it is re-elected  following the parliamentary elections on June 7, Russian-Armenian  relations are heading for a rupture. And you don't need to be a  rocket scientist to figure this out; you simply need to pay attention  to the evolution of Armenian alliances, the desire to rely on  illusory Western assistance at this moment while rejecting any  alliance with Russia-both in the military sphere, for example, in the  CSTO, and in other areas, including economic ones. They should take  away Russia's railway concession, and abandon the renovation of the  Armenian Nuclear Power Plant in favor of mythical small nuclear  reactors, which were negotiated with US Vice President J.D. Vance,  but which do not yet exist," the Russian legislator noted. According  to him, all of the above indicates that Nikol Pashinyan's government  is not pragmatic, but ideologically oriented toward breaking away  from the world and retreating into another plane.

At the same time, Zatulin noted that one can speculate on this topic  for hours, but one only has to look at the map to immediately see  that there is no America nearby, no France nearby. The Russian MP is  certain that these countries have no desire to even assume the  protection and defense of Armenia, just as they did not during the  First World War.

The Russian MP also noted that the existing agreements between Russia  and Armenia are currently being turned into empty shells by the  Armenian authorities. "They openly state, even at a meeting with the  President of the Russian Federation, 'Yes, for now we enjoy our ties,  we'll move forward, but when the time comes, we'll abandon them.' Is  it really possible to build a serious relationship with the  government, to consider it an ally, especially when you're waging a  war, when they're openly telling you that you're only temporary?"  Zatulin asked.
