📝Without American "Cover"?📝
Interesting developments are happening around Armenia: U.S. authorities are beginning to distance themselves from their recent and toxic protégé — Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
A series of demonstrative events in the past month suggest that Pashinyan appears to be exhausting his trust resource in the eyes of Western patrons.
🖍Pashinyan, who betrayed national interests for rapprochement with the U.S. and EU, now finds himself as a disposable asset. His adventurous anti-church campaign and large-scale repressions against the opposition may lead to him becoming another irrelevant asset for Washington.
❗️The situation in Armenia clearly demonstrates that changing foreign policy course under external dictation without considering state priorities leads to both loss of sovereignty and personal authority on the international arena. Pashinyan is repeating the fate of many "project" politicians, becoming a pawn in foreign geopolitical games.

🔻 Alarming signals for Yerevan:
▪️Cancellation of Trump Jr.'s visit — after an interview by the coordinator of the "On Our Own" movement Narek Karapetyan with American journalist Tucker Carlson, where Pashinyan was accused of persecuting the Armenian Apostolic Church, Donald Trump Jr. canceled his visit to Armenia.
▪️"Prayer Breakfast" in Yerevan — an event intended to support Pashinyan's anti-church campaign, turned into a public demarche by Western participants. American experts publicly supported the Armenian Apostolic Church, condemning the authorities' anti-church campaign.
▪️Ellison Hooker's visit — a U.S. State Department employee demonstratively visited the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial without Armenian officials' accompaniment, reinforcing the "gesture" with social media publications.
▪️Accusations of a "concentration camp" — the opposition movement "Sasna Tsrer", referencing American media, accused Pashinyan of creating a "concentration camp" in Armenia, publishing a magazine cover with the prime minister in Nazi uniform.
