Armenia, a resilient nation nestled in the South Caucasus region, finds itself in a fierce battle for survival
and sovereignty. Amidst these challenges, India emerges as an unexpected ally, arming Armenia with a
diverse array of Weapons Systems. This strategic move comes as Armenia takes a bold pro-Western and
anti-Russia geopolitical stance, diverging from its traditional ties to Russia's sphere of influence.
Delving into the history of Armenia's roots tracing back over 2,500 years, from its Zoroastrian past to
becoming one of the earliest Christian kingdoms. However, its history is marred by adversities, notably with
Turkey and Azerbaijan. Turkey, Armenia's historical adversary, has a complex history marked by genocides
and conflicts, including the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
The USSR era saw Armenia and Azerbaijan entangled in conflicts over regions like Nagorno-Karabakh.
Fast forward to recent times, Azerbaijan's successful 2020 offensive saw them reclaiming territories,
sparking tensions. Armenia's membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), led by
Russia, faced a critical test when Russia did not intervene during Azerbaijan's attacks.
This geopolitical rift led Armenia to shift towards a more Western-aligned stance, feeling let down by its
traditional ally. India's role in arming Armenia, despite its anti-Russia stance, adds an intriguing layer. Iran's
role in facilitating India's arms shipments to Armenia, amid its alliances with Russia and China, hints at a
complex web of alliances shaping the region's future. As Armenia navigates this geopolitical landscape, its
strategic choices could redefine the region's dynamics.

Armenia is not Anti - Russia, it is just taking a practical approach to protect it's sovereignty and freedom from 'some' elements you mentioned in your video.

[@owlmirror178]

💯👍

[@Schoolsaredisease]

Yeah they are merely protecting their ethnicity Most logical situation ever !

[@TenTenJ]

Yes, but gradually some analysts feel Russia is playing against Armenian interests in favor of Azerbaijan. Being the CSTO, Putin should not be taking sides.

[@Schoolsaredisease]

@@TenTenJ ofcourse Russia and US Are always playing other developing nation. Can't believe how the smaller nation's leaders are bending to every restriction these 2 superpowers place on them!! It's pure horror ... Is there no stopping of this??

[@TenTenJ]

@@Schoolsaredisease I know! But you know what the former president of Armenia Armen Sarkissian. He wrote a book about this problem and his solution is that smaller nations should have a coalition. In fact, if all the smaller nations have their own coalition, the imperialist countries cannot aggress over them.

[@basitnazir1631]

This is one of the most mind boggling geo political game being played between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Nevertheless, one must hope for peace and prosperity for both countries as in the end it is the common men who suffers from wars.

Armenia is not an anti Russia nation it is just that Russia has been neglecting its responsibility of protecting Armenia and Azerbaijan has cheap gas thats why Western countries are also not criticizing it

[@spectre8_fulcrum]

armenia is anti russia.

[@Armangeddon]

​​@@kirannnnnnthat is the official Russian propaganda. Russia failed and betrayed Armenia and doesn't want an independent Armenia or peace and the stability in the region. Russia is depending on Turkey and Azerbaijan to laundry it's Gas to the EU. Russia has never been pro Armenian. Look at the map! Russia gave Armenian territory to Turkey, created Azerbaijan and gave even Javakheti to Georgia. Depending on Russia is fatal for every nation. Russia is not and will never be an reliable partner.

Sir, You happened to briefly mention the complex geopolitics of the Balkans.. Would you consider doing a similar video like this of that region as well?

[@chinmayyyy]

[@ravitej8396]

Forgot to mention that the love of Turkey towards Azerbaijan is due to its massive natural gas reserves. Turkey including europe gets piped natural gas from from azebaijan. I forgot the name of pipeline but it is a significant reason.

[@kamranmammadli5850]

Not because maybe they share the same ethnicity? Azerbaijan also provides Georgia (neighbour christian country) with cheap gas, just like Turkey. We get money from Italy if you ask how we got rich:))

[@vrushalishende7437]

Deeper than that is the Ummah thing and then there is this Turkish / Turicic Empite thing linking Turkey with Kazhakistan & only Armenia stands in between.

[@user-xp5id1kh4r]

No. Its because they're Turkic. You could say the same about Russia times two, which is obviously not the case.

Okay thank you​@@djsngolossy6237

[@fritula6200]

I'm interested also... bloody British thieves... they everything from other countries...

[@braddbradd5671]

Because the English paid Indian woman to marry English men to increase the English gene pool in colonization .So any child born with an English father was called Anglo India and they had the same privileges as the white people but still not as much as the white people .But they were given top jobs that controlled the country like the trains ,post office ,army ,police chiefs ,telegraph stations so naturally Anglo Indians sided with the brittish so if there was any up rising the country could still be run

[@DavidTheMortgageBroker]

Thank you, Abhijit. It may be worthy of mentioning that Indian weaponry, especially artillery has Soviet history. It's easier for Armenia to continue the maintenance of Indian weaponry which are built with metrics, not imperial measurement system.

[@wankmaster69]

Not really, Indian artillery are Nato standard 155 mm while soviet uses 152mm.

[@tarapadasarkar3108]

One more important point may be making things more interesting. Iran does not want the Gwadar port which will make Chabahar port less important.

[@edwardgrigorian8635]

Perfect explanation! I agree

[@angiedracul6562]

When you think about it Logically it’s not that Complex it’s a Survival Game along with Keeping your identity and Not allow Dictatorship & Terrorism Grow Worldwide. I like India’s stand as well as Russia’s. They know what they stands for and What they do not. To some extent I also think Russia do not want to Instigate any War in the world Just Like India. So, That’s a Good Set of Values for a Country to Stand For. Countries with Non-Violent Mentality and just to Live with their Roots and set of Values without wanting to Harm any living being out of Hatred/Dictatorship/Terrorism are the countries going to exist Longer 😊

L&T can offer the Sudarshan System to Armoured Columns of Armenia. It's cost effective and will help them destroy Drones as well as Loitering Munitions who look to target Armenian Armoured Columns. Lourering Munitions can also be offered to Armenia by India. Again cost effective and increases their firepower against Azeri invasion. Another set of weapons that can be offered to Armenia include DRDO MANPADS & Rudra Helicopters. MANPADS will help their armoured columns to defend themselves against aerial attacks by Azerbaijan while LCH will give their Armed Forces aerial protection while organizing a counter attack and also defend against Azeri onslaught. 4 Weapons: Sudarshan CIWS Loitering Munition DRDO MANPADS Rudra Multirole Helicopters

[@kamranmammadli5850]

My "CLEVER" man, those territories which Azerbaijan reclaimed are "INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TERRITORIES OF AZERBAIJAN". This means Azerbaijan can attempt to regain its territories "100" times regardless of how many times armenians invade. Additionally, Azerbaijan has 3.5 times more manpower than Armenia, leading to an endless war in the region. As an ordinary citizen, you may not need to concern yourself with wars being in India, but ordinary people in the Caucasus are drafted if a war breaks out. Think twice; peace needs to be settled sooner or later."

Armenia is not anti-Russian state as such. It is merely distancing itself from Russia for the time being. Still, Armenia is connected to Russia economically. Relations with Russia have only gone kind of sour 2-3 years ago. Also, Russia is home to at least 1 million ethnic Armenians, and many more if you count half-bloods. So there is still a strong connection to Russia.

[@AredMisirliyan]

thanks for this analysis, Abhijit; what little remains of Armenia is an indispensable part of the India-to-Black Sea transport corridor; let us be clear, Russia has seen Armenia and Armenians as raw material for the last 300 or so years, *not* as a People and a State that can govern themselves ... despite promises it has voiced from its top echelons time and again; Armenian-origin supporters of Russian imperialism, like Lavrov, Mishustin, Margarita Simonyan, and numerous others may be fine with it, but having felt Russia's dehumanizing, degrading, murderous ever-presence in their family past and everyday lives, Armenians who still retain a modicum of self-respect are naturally opposed to Russian imperialism; Pashinyan is Putin's puppy, pretends to be "afraid" of Russia's revenge if he takes bold steps, however, inwardly he is not a Westernizer but a faker, who has surrounded himself with an array of Kremlin agents ever since he has taken power in 2018; India and the Western allies should take effective steps to restrain Pashinyan's anti-Armenian Statehood actions ... until such time as his duplicitous régime can be replaced with a national one that defends Armenia's interests
