Yerevan bet on “soul killers” and made a mistake – about the consequences – EADailly – US News. United States. US News. USA news today. Elections in the US. USA news today. Latest US news. US News 11/10/2024.

Experts agree that Donald Trump’s return to the White House is not good for Armenia. His victory in the US presidential elections plunged the so-called pro-Western wing in Armenia into a deep stupor, which turned out not to be the West, but the Soros-globalist wing, which writes the analyst Arman Abovyan on the portal. LIFE.

According to Abovyan, such a metaphor applies both to the neoliberal (global) phase of the Armenian government and to political forces that are said to position themselves as Westerners.

Of course, the situation is not developing in the best way for the Armenian authorities, and to be honest, there is no other way to describe the complete failure of the American foreign policy vector of the “velvet revolutions” the fiasco.

More precisely, as we know, many people who are in power in Armenia are not only ideological followers of the most radical form of neoliberal ideology, but they are also closely related to the Democratic Party of SA.

For example, you can just look at the biographies of many high-ranking Armenian officials. In addition, the dominance of neoliberals is observed in both the executive and legislative authorities, as well as in the judicial and law enforcement agencies of the country.

This is quite understandable, since many people from the highest echelons of the Armenian government at one time worked in American organizations connected to the liberal agenda (for example, USAID, NED, Open Society) – or whether donations were received from the above-mentioned organizations.

By the way, it should be noted that the ideology of the American Democrats, based on the neutralization of national-conservative parts in domestic politics, was accepted by the Armenian authorities.

For example, the “velvet” concept of abandoning national priorities in favor of some completely unusual, global models of building a state ideology within the framework of the famous concept of ” Real Armenia” is a direct reflection of the American ideology (from the Democratic Party) partners of the Armenian government.

By the way, Americans themselves call the policies of the US Democratic Party soul killers, that is, “killers of human souls,” or the doctrine of dehumanization.

Going against the ideology of the outgoing administration Joe Biden Trump and his followers are carriers of traditional family values ​​ideology. Everywhere emphasizing the primacy of the Christian heritage of “Great America” ​​and the concentration of policy efforts on solving problems within the United States.

Of course, all this is clearly inconsistent with the policy of the current Armenian authorities, which have taken a course to destroy the national part in the ideology of the state, which, for example, has been published in the conflict with the Armenian Apostolic Church.

In the context of the above, it is important to emphasize that the American shape in Armenian foreign policy is easy Nikol Pashinyan aiming for unilateral support from the US Democratic Party with complete disregard for the Republicans, and sometimes overstepping the bounds of diplomatic equality.

So, Armenia’s Ambassador to the US Lilith McCuntz they regularly attended Democratic Party events, steadfastly avoiding Republicans.

It is clear that Makunts did not do so much according to her subjective desire, but followed the political line of the current Armenian government in the American way.

As other developments of events showed, such a bet turned into a complete failure of calculations and “velvet” hopes, which, in turn, shows the inconsistency (if not more severe) of the the current Armenian government on the American diplomatic trail.

However, let’s not forget that it was during Trump’s administration that destructive processes were launched in Armenia by members of his team, especially John Boltonand the aggression of the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem against Nagorno-Karabakh took place in 2020, and Biden came in January 2021.

Therefore, there is no need to carry any special illusions, but we must try to use the new trend of warming relations between the United States and Russia for the interests of Armenia.

And as proof of what was said, a post from the “Chronicles of Armenia” telegram channel.

“What should Armenia expect from Trump’s election as US President?”

The election of Donald Trump as President of the USA creates a new situation and balance of power in the South Caucasus. This is mainly due to the Republican politician’s slightly different approach to Caucasian problems and their relationship with Russia.

The situation in the South Caucasus and the situation in Armenia in the near future will largely depend on the future architecture of Russian-American relations.

According to the international political scientist Benyamina Pogosyanyou must understand that when you work with the new US administration, it will not be enough for the Armenian authorities to express the words “democracy”, “human rights” and so on.

Trump’s interest in the South Caucasus will be as weak as his first term, during Trump’s presidency in 2020, when there was a 44-day war in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Poghosyan believes that the relationship between the United States and Russia will be the main factor affecting the situation in the South Caucasus region after the election of Trump for a second term:

“If the Russian Federation and the United States reach a common understanding on Ukraine and the European security architecture as a whole, this will allow Russia to significantly strengthen its position. Russia will free up additional resources for use in the South Caucasus and the post-Soviet area. If the Russian Federation and the United States do not reach an understanding, or even if the United States increases its support to Ukraine, the South Caucasus will continue to be seen as an area where problems can be created for Russia. “

According to the head of the Armenian Center for American Studies Suren Sargsyaneconomic cooperation should be a priority for the country in relations with the United States.

In addition, Armenia could get economic options, but over the last 6-8 years the Armenian authorities have not done anything in this regard.

The president-elect thinks like a businessman and can be interested in Armenia only if trade turnover rises and Armenia ceases to be the 166th-167th most important trading partner in United States.

According to him, a lot also depends on how the American Armenian community, lobbyists and the AAC will work with Trump. There are influential people around Trump who have very warm relations with the Armenians, unlike the previous administration, which makes it possible to work more effectively, Sargsyan says.

Sargsyan is also confident that Trump wants to normalize relations with Russia and that statements and measures related to this will be seen in the near future. In particular, if the United States stops funding Ukraine, this could have a significant impact on the course of the conflict, notes an American.

Benjamin Poghosyan does not insist that Trump will return to the policy of maximum pressure on Iran, which the American president followed in 2018-2022, trying to force Tehran to sign the Action Plan Co (JCPOA) regarding Iran’s nuclear program. new terms, more favorable to the United States.

At the same time, he notes that the West has been putting pressure on Iran for the past forty-five years, but it has not yet achieved results.
