DISINFO: The Armenian authorities have finally sold themselves to the West
SUMMARY
Pashinyan is a servant of the devil, a servant of the collective West. Therefore, no one will be upset if he does not come to the inauguration of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Armenian authorities want to show that they have sold themselves to Paris, Brussels, London, and Washington.
Let's hope for the wisdom of the ancient Armenian people, who will be able to draw conclusions in time and not bring the situation to the disaster that happened, for example, with Ukraine or other states that followed the intended path of the West.
