DISINFO: Macron and Pashinyan secretly met about a military conspiration against Russia

SUMMARY

The Armenian leader Pashinyan visits Paris. The purpose of the visit is Pashinyan and Macron's plot against Russia. They want to tear Armenia away from Russia, remove Armenia from the CSTO, remove the Russian military base, remove the Russian border guards, make a French military base and introduce the French armed forces and those of other NATO countries in Armenia and the South Caucasus region in general.

Pashinyan would have done it a long time ago, but he is afraid because the majority of Armenians are against Russia's withdrawal. Because Russia has always done a lot of good for Armenia. Pashinyan and Macron will meet in secret, how can they deceive the Armenian people and position them against Russia?

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, accusing an ever-aggressive West of having an anti-Russian and destabilizing agenda in the Caucasus, including Armenia.

Pro-Kremlin outlets promote the idea that the Caucasus is exclusively within Russia's zone of geopolitical dominance.

The Armenian Prime Minister officially met with the French President on 22 February 2024, without secrecy. A joint declaration was made to the press. The purpose of the visit was the ceremony for the transfer of the remains of Missak and Mélinée Manouchian and their comrades of resistance against Nazism into the Panthéon.

"The Head of State took this opportunity to reaffirm France's unwavering support for Armenia's independence, its territorial integrity and its aspiration for peace.

The two leaders also discussed the state of discussions towards the normalisation of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

This meeting also made it possible to deepen bilateral cooperation between the two countries, particularly in the transport, energy and water sectors but also in defence matters".

France's development of bilateral cooperation with Armenia in the defense and other sectors, reaffirms the necessity of attempts to prevent military escalation with Azerbaijan, it does not indicate an intention to fight against Russia or establish French military bases
