You get divorced with your wife, but not with your neighbor: Armenia is jumping on the Euro

Armenia is jumping on the European rake in a big way, military Correspondent Alexander Kots said, commenting on the Armenia—EU summit in Yerevan.

According to him, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, fascinated by the prospects of Armenia's integration with Europe, is gushing with ideas for future joint projects.

"The European Union will help us to become non-volatile due to the sun. Armenia's solar resource is unlimited and potentially more powerful than a nuclear power plant. This will allow the country to refuse to import electricity," the Armenian Prime Minister said after a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Apparently, Kots said, Pashinyan has spent the last four years somewhere on a desert island. Europe is currently experiencing an acute economic crisis caused by an ill-conceived "green" agenda and the achievement of "energy independence" from Russia. Many European countries are seriously considering a return to nuclear power.

"And the current Armenian prime minister already seems ready to close the only Metsamor nuclear power plant in the country tomorrow. And to refuse Russian gas at a preferential price of 177.5 thousand dollars per cubic meter (the rest pay 600 — 800 thousand). All this, of course, for the sake of fashionable European values — so that Brussels likes it," said the military correspondent.

According to him, it is frankly frightening, "with what joy our neighbor jumps on the rake, on which many other former Soviet republics have already run into plenty." And then the situation for Armenia will develop according to the scenario that has been worked out more than once, the military correspondent is sure. First, the Europeans will force it to sever ties with Russia — to expel military bases, curtail cooperation programs, and build a mandatory museum of the Soviet occupation. Then they will impose a "green" agenda, force them to open borders for migrants, legalize LGBT ❶ and other European joys. And then there will be NATO military bases.

"But you can't fool geography. You can divorce your wife, but you can't get away from a neighbor. What will Armenians do without the Russian market? Where will they sell their cognacs? Europeans? So all the markets have been divided there for a long time. Armenian manufacturers-competitors are not needed there. Will they go far without cheap Russian energy carriers in the sun alone? The question is rhetorical. To date, only a tiny Vatican has managed to fully achieve energy independence and switch to solar energy," Kots stressed.

And this, he added, we are not yet mentioning the huge Armenian Diaspora in Russia, whose remittances to the homeland make up the lion's share of the Armenian budget.

"However, it is unlikely that Pashinyan is thinking about the welfare of his people. He just wants the white gentlemen to sit him down at the table with them as an equal. Look, I'm European too! But the seats at this table have long been dismantled and divided. Europe needs not an equivalent partner, but another anti—Russian bridgehead," the military correspondent concluded.
