Lukewarm wishes from Yerevan - How sincere is Pashinyan in congratulating his Georgian counterpart?

The paradox of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's policy between the West and Russia for a long time does not go unnoticed. The fact that it is completely under the influence of the West is evident in every nuance.

Sunday's elections in Georgia and Georgian Dream, the leading party’s victory caused much frustration for the West. Besides, the cold congratulatory message by the head of the Armenian government amidst the uproars aroused serious interest.

There is still a question - how satisfied Pashinyan is with the results of the elections in Georgia? Is he, indeed, happy about the victory of the Georgian Dream party?

Georgia was actually the West’s only hope in the South Caucasus to implement its many secret plans. Europe's interests here were precisely to turn Sakartvelo into its outpost and to target Russia and many of its opponents near this region. The elections held on October 27 actually saved Georgia from suffering the same fate as Ukraine.

Today, Armenia thinks that it is conducting a dual policy by changing hats between the West and Moscow. But it is no secret that he played the role of a spy for the West, and became a springboard for the Western forces to influence the region.

Acting for the interests of the West, Pashinyan was, in fact, disappointed with the results of the elections in Georgia, and his plain words in his congratulatory letter to the Georgian Prime Minister were written out of desperation and under duress. Because Yerevan understands that its exclusion from the common interests of the South Caucasus states may lead to a number of problems in the future. Nikol Pashinyan prefers to strengthen his landlocked country's relations with Turkiye, Azerbaijan, as well as Georgia. But the pressure of the West on him prevents him from taking more decisive steps. In his congratulatory letter, Pashinyan did not invite the Prime Minister of Georgia to his country. However, his emphasis on “brotherly relations” with Georgia in his letter does not sound like an expression of sincerity.

Nikol Pashinyan expected a completely different result. He thought that it would be easier to suppress Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus if Georgia, the last country in the region, was westernised. Yes, this plan was the master plan of the European Union, which has shown an insincere attitude towards Azerbaijan for a long time with its numerous biased statements. But Sunday's parliamentary election results ruined this plan.

For now, Pashinyan has to remain silent and continue his policy with a seesaw effect - until new tasks come from the West.
