From the Russian military base to the EU rapid response team: the mechanism of the regime's reproduction

During this episode, the real picture of Armenia's internal and external challenges is discussed, where government propaganda and reality collide. We analyze why the current administration continues to make promises of peace after the loss of Artsakh while simultaneously fulfilling all of Azerbaijan's preconditions.

The discussion explores whether the relative calm on the border is a true peace or simply a temporary pause granted in exchange for concessions, benefiting Baku and Ankara to ensure the reproduction of the current government.

Reference is made to the Azerbaijani president's recent statements, where he clearly indicates that Armenia knows the sequence of its steps, including the forced change of the Constitution. In parallel, the government's pre-election moves are examined - from pension increases to the issue of shacks in Gyumri - questioning whether this is another round of populism before the elections. At the center of the discussion is also Nikol Pashinyan's contradictory statement in Poland, where he no longer considers the Russian military base a threat, as well as Ararat Mirzoyan's letter to Brussels regarding the invitation of an EU rapid response team, which draws parallels with the Moldova scenario.

Finally, the most painful topics are discussed: the potential free movement of Azerbaijanis through Armenia and the strange intention to hold a military parade in a defeated country. What lies ahead and what is the real purpose of all this?
