Russian Expert Mirzayan: Biden s Recognition Of Armenian Genocide Is Designed To Pry Armenia Away From Russia
May 3, 2021
US President Joseph Biden, on April 24, 2021, departed from the policy of his predecessors and officially recognized the Armenian genocide of 1915:
Each year on this day, we remember the lives of all those who died in the Ottoman-era Armenian genocide and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring
, Biden declared
Russia could not be indifferent to this declaration. Armenia is a Russian ally, and Russia has troops stationed in Armenia. In the recent conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno Karabakh, Russia took a hands-off attitude, and parlayed this neutrality into a Russian peace keeping contingent designed to protect the settlement between the two sides. Russia has also sought to wean Turkey away from the West despite the differences between Moscow and Ankara in Syria
