The results of the meeting between Putin, Pashinyan and Aliyev held in Sochi will not appear today or tomorrow. Instead, they will appear in the nearest month or two. The real results can be judged not by announcements or even documents, but by concrete actions. And the actions, in our case, are sadly carried out on the front line. Whether new provocations on the front will take place or not will determine what Putin and Erdogan, rather than Aliyev and Pashinyan, have settled on.
The Armenian influence on geopolitical games is nearly non-existent. We can say that this influence further reduces the, mildly put, unclear position of our Prime Minister, which results in him being forced to maneuver in diametrically opposite directions. For instance, look at him trying to justify himself in CSTO as to why he invited the EU observation mission. He told about this at the congress of his party.
In short, the Armenian positions in the international field are weak. And on the contrary, Pashinyan’s positions inside of Armenia are strong. The latest proof is the hatred from the powers’ supporters towards the mass rally held in Stepanakert on Sunday. According to the Pashinyan’s supporters, the rally was held by Putin in order to overthrow their leader. However, the next day, Pashinyan met up with said Putin, which made it clear to any person without prejudices, that the Kremlin does not have any intentions in creating a power change in Armenia at the moment.
But I am actually interested in the moral-psychological component of the attitude towards the nation of Artsakh, instead of the political. Dozens of thousands of our compatriots are actually on the verge of being killed or losing their house, property. Don’t those people deserve support, cooperation, sympathy, empathy? Do they deserve to be made fun of and insulted, if even you are not fond of the colors of some of the flags raisen there?

But, I repeat, that anti-artsakh attitude or hypnosis, to put it more accurately, is the basis of the strength of the current government. That is why we have the strong inside, weak outside phenomena. Perhaps, those concepts have some kind of a connection?
