Wer täuscht wen vor? Armenien behauptet, Russland stecke hinter Putschversuch; Moskau schreit nach „Fake News“.

Prior to 2020, Armenia and Russia were strategic partners. But the Armenian government has moved to bolster relations with the West over the past year, while accusing Russia of failing to fulfill security guarantees and treaty obligations during the Second Karabakh War, which ended with Azerbaijan’s reconquest of the contested territory. In a statement issued in mid-September, Pashinyan reaffirmed that Armenia’s pivot toward the West will continue, adding that Yerevan will apply for EU membership at the first “realistic opportunity.”
