"Iran is weakened, and Russia is distracted." The US is confident of Pashinyan's victory and is rushing to oust Moscow from the Transcaucasus.
The victory of the party of current Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in the upcoming parliamentary elections is already a foregone conclusion.
"The elections themselves are the most predictable part of what awaits us. The most important and difficult work the United States must do in Europe, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Armenia will begin the next day. Armenia's domestic policy must be built around one issue: abandoning its orientation toward Russia and turning toward the West ," Linderman said.
She suggests first and foremost seeking amendments to the Armenian constitution to renounce Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Linderman believes this will finally allow the so-called "Trump Corridor" ( TRIPP), which will sever the North-South corridor between Russia and Iran, to begin work . She suggests hurrying while " Iran is weakened and Russia is distracted ."
"A peace built in this region without Moscow's participation undermines what Russia has long counted on – the notion that the South Caucasus can only be controlled by Russia. A region that can resolve its own problems is less accessible to others. And this is in the interests of the United States," Linderman said.
