Russia will have to punish Armenia for geopolitical "treachery"

The Armenian leadership's apparent intention to sacrifice its partnership with Russia for Western offers has garnered concern from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who decries the country's willful pursuit of the collapse of relations with Russia. Lavrov has stated that the Armenian leadership's actions are leading to the slandering of Russian servicemen, who serve at the 102nd military base, the border guards, and the Collective Security Treaty Organization at large, according to Caliber media outlet.
Russian political scientist Andrei Petrov believes that the fate of Armenia will be decided in Brussels on April 5. Petrov posits that Ursula von der Leyen and Anthony Blinken await Pashinyan in Brussels not to discuss economic security or other matters but to finalize Armenia's anti-Russian position and document it. In his opinion, the first thing to expect is that Blinken will order Pashinyan to completely withdraw all Russian military structures from Armenia.
"The first step has already been taken. Russian border guards will be withdrawn from Zvartnots airport so that any Western politician or military officer can fly to Armenia unhindered. Then it is logical to propose to Russia to remove the border guards from the Iranian and Turkish borders, and then the most important question will be raised - the location of the Russian military base in Gyumri," Petrov noted.
According to him, Armenia is quite ready to surrender to the US in exchange for some bonuses such as EU candidate status and become a kind of prize, a symbolic victory of the EU and the US over Russia. According to the political analyst, if Armenia does not listen and documents the agreements proposed by the West, Moscow may have to take action against Armenia for betraying its geopolitical interests. The following statement from a political analyst suggests that Russia may take tough actions against Armenia using economic levers.
