Who needs “exploded” Yerevan and “mined” Armenia? |

which resulted in human casualties in the “Sürmelu” shopping center in Yerevan explosion and after the fire, a wave of provocative news about the mining of important objects in Armenia began. Although these news were not confirmed, they managed to create noise in the country. Against this background, the opposition has started making accusations against the government. Let’s focus on the chronology of what happened in this country on Tuesday.

First, Armenia The Ministry of Emergencies of Yerevan metro, the most important military and received information about the mining of civilian objects.

Armenia The Emergency Situations Management Center of the Ministry of Emergency Situations received signals about the placement of explosive devices in the Yerevan subway, all shopping centers, the zoological park, the parliament, and St. Gregory’s Church.

Cynologists, rescuers and engineering teams have left for the areas. The Ministry of Emergency Situations has evacuated citizens for safety reasons.

In turn, Tatev Khachatryan, press secretary of the Yerevan metro social said that the Ministry of Emergencies has received information about placing explosive devices in all metro stations on the network.

“Passenger transportation is currently suspended,” Khachatryan said.

Besides, Armenia Hayk Kostanyan, press secretary of the Ministry of Emergencies, said that on Tuesday, the agency’s e-mail was sent to Yerevan’s “Zvartnots” international weather received information about a bomb being placed in the port.

“Zvartnots” to the Secretariat of the Ministry of Emergency Situations weather received a letter by e-mail about placing a bomb in the port. Currently, teams of the Ministry of Emergency Situations weather is conducting an inspection at the port, evacuation of people is not planned,” he said.

Later, the spokesman of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Armenia, Hayk Kostanyan, said that signals about placing bombs in the subway and other public places are mainly received through e-mail.

“Recently, these letters were mainly sent to the email address of the Yerevan municipality. Today’s letter is addressed to the secretariat of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. There is no information about which country these signals come from, whether their authors are foreigners or not,” said Kostanyan.

That is, the authorities cannot understand where these signals come from. Ex-the president Serzh Sargsyan’s Republican Party immediately voiced sharp criticism in this regard.

“Armenia-Azerbaijan See what is happening in Tavush region on the border. They say that about the enclaves there Russia posts are created”. Armen Ashotyan, deputy chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia, said this at a meeting with journalists on August 16.

He said that everyone is talking about it now. Ashotyan called the current “concessions” preparation for “new concessions” in the future in Tavush and Syunik. According to him, Russia– There are deep contradictions in Armenian relations, captive and the issue of missing persons has completely left the public discussion of Armenia. “To prevent the removal of the Armenian people from the world map, it is necessary to remove Nikol Pashinyan from power. We don’t have a state. What happened around Berdzor (meaning Lachi – ed.) and in the “Sürmelu” shopping center explosion The establishment of the coordination headquarters 27 hours after the incident is proof of this. “The authorities announced their intention to declare mourning just two days after the tragedy,” said the deputy chairman.

He reminded that 5 deaths in non-combat conditions were recorded in the army during the last week, even though it was initially announced that it was aimed at strengthening the country’s security. military he noted that such exercises cause losses.

The representative of the opposition called Pashinyan a bomb planted under the Armenian state. “Even 2020After November 9, the positions of Armenia were stronger than now. Because Nicole remained in power. But if he left after November 9, then prisoners will return, the Karabakh conflict will be kept in the international lexicon, the right of the Karabakh people to self-determination would remain the most important principle in the resolution of the conflict. After all, this was the position of the international community after November 9. Pashinyan if he left, the army would be strengthened, the relations with the ally would be strengthened. And now we have lost our respect in the eyes of the world community,” Ashotyan added.

He said that he is sure that the soon end of the war in Ukraine is beneficial for Armenia. Because the current situation in the world does not promise anything good. The deputy chairman of the party explained this by the fact that when the relations between the superpowers remain tense, Armenia takes a back seat on the world agenda. Azerbaijan and Turkey and he takes advantage of it. “It is beneficial for us that Russia’s influence in the South Caucasus does not weaken. Otherwise, we sacrifice we can become a bargaining object that can be given”, he concluded.

It seems that someone really wants to disrupt the internal situation in Armenia as much as possible. What are these forces? In whose interests are these events taking place? And what is the end goal?

The well-known Russian international expert Grigory Trofimchuk shared his views on this issue with the Press Club:

– Any important in any country explosion or immediately after a terrorist attack, they start looking for “relief” and even find it most of the time. Therefore, the explosion in Yerevan was not an exception: it begins to seem to the society that there is a danger in literally every object, death follows step by step.

But at the same time, as one of the oppositionists rightly pointed out, the main danger for Armenia Prime Minister It is Pashinyan himself. It is for this reason 2018Destabilization is observed here since the spring of . This “revolutionary” was placed under not only Armenia, but the entire South Caucasus as a “living bomb”, and I have been emphasizing this fact ever since. I do not agree with the version that the explosion in the shopping center was profitable for Russia. Not because I am Russian myself. Because Moscow simply needs no further upheavals in Armenia. Extra shocks are a bonus to war. In addition, Russia the party does not intend to “punish” Pashinyan, so to speak. He received the maximum sentence for all previous incidents.

However, this huge explosion is a signal that from now on, Armenia is under attack, under pressure, and now anything can happen inside it. Because there has been no such explosion in the country for a long time. Pashinyan it has become an additional backpack without a strap for both the West and Russia. The United States looked at it for a long time, measured its potential, but apparently realized that “it is impossible to cook porridge” with it. Therefore, the most optimal option of using Armenia may be destabilization of the country. Because the population of the country military it is so lazy from the point of view, the patriotism, which is useless and melts in Yerevan cafes, is so sluggish that it is not even ready to fight with Azerbaijan, which is a blood enemy. So, according to the forces that blew up the mall, only such things can somehow shake a society that even a lost war could not activate.

So it’s just a signal from the outside, and its author is no longer so important. That person may even be some Armenian radical who is dissatisfied with the indifference of his compatriots. The problem is in the Armenian society itself, because it is not able to respond to the challenges. But Azerbaijan countries of the region like Armenia should react very carefully to what is happening in order not to fall into the “valley” along with Armenia. Because destabilization in Armenia is equivalent to destabilization in the whole region. This is directed towards peace To Azerbaijan not necessary. Azerbaijan will not be able to quietly create transport corridors in the burning Armenia. Because if there is a threat of large-scale terrorist attacks, any trade will be automatically stopped.
