Armenian PM's Moscow Parade Appearance Sparks Outrage

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's recent attendance at the Moscow Victory Parade has sparked controversy, particularly concerning his attire and seating arrangement. Arkadiy Vardanyan, a prominent Armenian political scientist, criticized Pashinyan's appearance, calling it "inappropriate" for a head of state. Vardanyan's video, which has gained considerable attention, also points to the presence of Azerbaijani special forces at the parade as a potential sign of disrespect toward Armenia. The video highlights the delicate political situation between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Belarus, given the history of conflict and strained relations. Vardanyan's comments underscore the sensitivities surrounding the event and the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region. The incident has raised questions about Pashinyan's diplomatic strategy and its implications for Armenia's relations with its neighbors and international partners.
