The real winner of the upcoming US-brokered Armenia-Azerbaijan memorandum will be America itself, claimed Ashot Grigoryan, Chairman of the Forum of Armenian Unions of Europe.
Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev will hype the agreement as the "deal of the century" and a "treaty of eternal peace," Ashot Grigoryan, who also chairs the Armenian diaspora in Slovakia, told Sputnik.
In reality, Armenia will “suffer a total defeat.”

The Fallout

Russia and Iran could face challenges ahead because the Zangezur corridor will likely be leased out to an American company
Armenia will be cut out of customs and military oversight over goods moving along the route connecting Turkiye to Turkic-speaking countries
It will devastate Armenia economically
Iran will perceive a threat in the disruption of ties with Armenia and, through it, with Russia; meanwhile, it (Iran) will be encircled
For years, Britain has pushed to wrest southern regions from Russia’s grasp and hand them to Turkiye, according to the analyst.
The entire worldwide Armenian community rejects the Zangezur corridor project as a sellout, he underscored.
“The PM pocketed $5 billion immediately after taking office in 2018 and “sold out” Karabakh. Now, pro-Western Pashinyan is rejecting Russia - our biggest historic neighbor - and pushing Armenia towards “loss of statehood, our Christian culture, and our identity,” Grigoryan concluded.
