Historical, yes. They have recently realized that Russia does not have their back and the relationship has changed.

No doubt and good policy shift imho but west ain’t gonna save them now, they really can’t.

Their best bet is Iran who can actually do something and has a reason to do so but that’s another mistake tbh too.

Not really sure what Armenia can do at this point since Azerbaijan appears to be on a war path and has capability to execute.

Russia is withdrawing troops from Armenia

Armenia doesn’t support the war in Ukraine

Armenia had a war with Azerbaijan which was supplied with weapons by Belarus, which is closely integrated with Russia

Study a little bit of the history of great power alliances and the group of “historically allied with Russia” becomes pretty large.

Russia is siding with Azerbaijan currently because EU was replacing Russian gas with theirs

Armenia isn’t impressed with their protector siding with the country killing them

Meanwhile, Turkey still does not recognize the Armenian Genocide, while playing pretend champion of human rights in the ICJ.

Armenia is shitting bricks since their entire geopolitical posture collapsed when Russia bailed on them.

Azeris might do a similar thing to them now. And jack shit anyone can do about it…

Shoulda never get into bed with Russia like that over a war of territorial conquest

Their “leaders” really done fucked up in 1990s and there is nothing that can be done now.
