**The headline to this article is as stated above. The question mark is my inclusion, because, to me this is a question, not a statement of fact. That all said, it’s an interesting opinion. The question marks included are statements I find questionable. What do you think?**

> **The developments in Karabakh will lead to the overthrow of the Pashinyan government in Armenia and the establishment of a pro-Moscow regime in Armenia.(?)**
> 
> **According to our data, Russia was aware of Azerbaijan’s impending operation in Karabakh (?)and deliberately took a position of non-intervention, sabotaging its peacekeeping functions.(?) Thus, Russia has further strengthened Turkey’s influence in the Caucasus**.**(?)**
> 
> **Pashinyan has *become* a nuisance for Putin and the latter has long been waiting for the right moment to topple the Armenian government.**

**Like, just recently Pashinyan’s become a nuisance or more like there’s nothing new under the sun sort of becoming a nuisance?**

> The Kremlin believes that the loss of Karabakh could become the pretext for pushing the Karabakh clan in Yerevan toward a coup to overthrow Pashinyan. **The clan consists of Armenian ethnic nationalists supervised by Russian military intelligence since the outset of the conflict in Karabakh in the 1980s**, including ex-prime minister Robert Kocharyan and ex-president Serzh Sargsyan. For this purpose, **combat groups that are already deployed in Yerevan were transferred to Armenia.(?) During mass rallies, likely to unfold on September 23-24, a series of terrorist attacks have been plotted to provoke even wider unrest in the capital of Armenia, which will lead to an attempt to seize a government quarter, which was tested out just recently. An attack on the Russian embassy is also expected to create a fog around the operation to conceal Moscow’s involvement and accuse Washington of destabilizing the country and the entire region.** Russian military intelligence teams will take control of Yerevan’s central part.

> **The position of Pashinyan, who advocates normalization, harms the interests of the “Karabakh clan” and its influence in the Armenian political life, which makes this clan Moscow’s ally**. **(???)**

> **The “Karabakh clan” is trying to sabotage the normalization process along the Baku-Yerevan line in order to put Pashinyan in a difficult position, “demonize” Azerbaijan, and play nationalist sentiments existing in Armenia in order to overthrow**

> In the conflict with Azerbaijan, **Armenia expected Russia’s backing within the CSTO. (Why? Russia did not assist last time- makes no sense) However, the Kremlin chose to snub Armenia since officials in Moscow consider relations with Turkey more important than supporting their CSTO ally.**

> By overthrowing Pashinyan, **Moscow will also send a warning to Kazakhstan’s President Tokayev, who may also be mulling a scenario of pulling from the organization and jumping under China’s security umbrella.** **(Don’t see that as accurate)**

> **Regardless of the future scenario of Armenia’s membership in the CSTO, Russia took a step that is rather risky for itself, by completely discrediting the idea of any defense and political union, ( It’s already been mentioned why Russia does not get involved in the Karabakh issue) and also showing that Moscow places relations with regional leaders (Turkey) above treaty obligations.** **(There was no treaty obligation, regarding NK so that statement is a no go)** The Kremlin’s apparent reluctance to ensure Armenia’s security and **the inaction of the Russian military contingent in Karabakh, posing as peacekeepers, sends a clear signal to Moscow’s few remaining allies that Russia has become an unreliable partner.**

**Moscow sent a message to Turkey they are unreliable though they showed preference to Turkey?** **That’s contradictory.**

**If Pashinyan is tossed over the next couple days- It will be the Armenian military and the western allies ensconced in Yerevan.**
