(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 22. The upcoming
trilateral meeting of Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in
Brussels reveals the true face of the country, Azerbaijani MP Azer
Badamov told Trend .
"On April 5, a trilateral meeting is being prepared between
Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, US Secretary of State Blinken,
and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, with the
signing of a document on security guarantees for Armenia. The main
goal of the meeting is to expedite the process of Russia's
withdrawal from Armenia and replace the Russian military base with
US troops.
The US and the European Union have provided similar security
guarantees to Ukraine as well. As a result, Ukraine has turned into
a battlefield, and there are no doubts that a similar situation
will arise with Armenia. The meeting that Pashinyan plans to hold
in Brussels will further anger Russia because it's not intending to
leave Armenia as easily as the West and Pashinyan would like. This
means that serious steps from Russia are inevitable, and disaster
is looming closer," he said.
Badamov also noted that the presence of US and European military
forces in Armenia contradicts Iran's interests.
"The West has kept Iran under sanctions for a long time, and
there have even been attempts to change the regime. The deployment
of US and European troops in Armenia poses a serious threat to
Iran. This also contributes to the rupture of Iranian-Armenian
relations. Unfortunately, Armenia continues to undermine security
and cooperation in the South Caucasus.
The meeting of Blinken and Ursula von der Leyen with Pashinyan
in Brussels calls into question the signing of a peace agreement
with Azerbaijan. Because it is an attempt to address the issue
unilaterally, which does not serve the interests of Azerbaijan and
is a step against our country," he said.
According to Badamov, as Armenia succumbs to Western promises,
it moves further away from the peace process.
"This can also be seen in the Armenian Parliament Chairman Alen
Simonyan's speech at the session of the EuroNest Parliamentary
Assembly in Brussels on March 20. Simonyan is once again trying to
revive the term 'Nagorno-Karabakh' and portray the voluntary
departure of Armenians from the Karabakh economic region as 'ethnic
cleansing'.
Pashinyan's trilateral meeting in Brussels, as well as
Simonyan's rhetoric, reveal Armenia's true face. Armenia's actions
can be described as an attempt to create a new hotspot of tension
in the South Caucasus. Pashinyan does not understand that the main
goal of the US is not to 'protect' Armenia but to penetrate
neighboring countries with Russia and create new pressure points.
In this regard, there is no doubt that Central Asia will be the
next target of the US after Ukraine.
The US is trying to weaken and ultimately fragment Russia by
involving it in new conflicts. Of course, this is a complex issue.
Because Russia has enough strength and resources to resist the
West. Despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the
Ukrainian war, the US and Europe have not succeeded. There is no
doubt that Armenia awaits a situation similar to that of Ukraine
and Lebanon today," the MP added.
