"Russia has been Armenia's main economic partner and ally since the 1991 Soviet collapse. Landlocked Armenia, which used to be part of the Soviet Union, hosts a Russian military base and is part of the Moscow-led security alliance, the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
Armenia's ties with Russia, however, have grown increasingly strained since Azerbaijan waged a lightning military campaign last year to take the Karabakh region, ending three decades of ethnic Armenian separatist rule there.
Armenian authorities accused Russian peacekeepers who were deployed to Nagorno-Karabakh after a previous round of hostilities in 2020 of failing to stop Azerbaijan's onslaught. Moscow rejected the accusations, arguing that its troops didn't have a mandate to intervene."

Very funny... as if Vlad needed a 'mandate' to intervene.

There's a bit more on Russia-Armenia at "Armenian police detained another Russian citizen in Armenia, likely at the request of Russian authorities, amid deteriorating Armenian-Russian political and security relations" (www.understandingwar.org).

"Of course. Armenia."
Lol. Immediately brings to mind a line that has lingered decades in my mind. It comes from an exchange with an Iranian merchant (don't ask). He was keen on advising me not to trust his partner. "He's a Jew ... from Armenia."
