🇦🇲🇦🇿 Incredible (not) news: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, stated during a meeting with residents of border villages in the Tavush region that if Yerevan does not yield to the Azerbaijanis on the border issue, the war could start by the end of this week.

Just a few days ago, Pashinyan argued that there could be no consideration of handing over the Armenian village-exclaves in Tavush to Azerbaijan. However, the Prime Minister of Armenia, now on-site to evaluate the border delimitation process, expresses the opposite view.

🔻As noted by opposition Armenian politicians, surrendering villages in the Tavush region would cause the destruction of the Armenian defense line established since the 1990s. Consequently, the Azerbaijanis would find themselves in the Armenian rear.

Moreover, in the Armenian village of Voskepar, where Pashinyan is persuading residents to submit to the mercy of the Azerbaijanis, the main gas pipeline for Armenia runs from Georgia, which would fall under Azerbaijani control.

Yerevan also faces the risk of losing control over the interstate road connecting Armenia and Georgia. In effect, Armenia could potentially become an enclave surrounded by Azerbaijan.

🔻Pashinyan anticipates that following a potential conflict over Tavush, Armenians will accuse him of failing to alert the population about the conflict's likelihood. Curiously, there is not even a consideration that he might be accused primarily of the uncontrolled surrender of territories, since these are clearly not the final concessions.

❗️Subsequently, the Syunik region could be next in line, leading to the establishment of the “Zangezur Corridor”, connecting Azerbaijan and Turkey. The Armenian Foreign Ministry asserts that they have no intention of compromising their sovereignty in Syunik. However, as past events have demonstrated, the official statements from Pashinyan’s administration cannot be relied upon.

🇸🇮🇭🇷 Accusations against the Serbs regarding the alleged supply of ammunition to the AFU are increasingly circulating on the Internet. However, the real suppliers, who are ramping up the pace and volume of equipment and weapons supply to the AFU, come from completely different countries of the former Yugoslavia: Slovenia and Croatia.

In 2022 alone, 8:5% of Slovenia’s military budget was allocated to support Ukraine. This sets an absolute record among the former Yugoslav countries. Croatia follows closely, nearing the 3% threshold.

▪️ Ljubljana donated Yugoslav-made M-80 infantry fighting vehicles, M-55S and M-84 tanks to Kyiv. Additionally, the Slovenian authorities covertly dispatched 20 relatively new models of Valuk (Pandur) armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. Recently, Slovenia decided to provide one million euros to support the Czech initiative to supply the AFU with artillery shells.

▪️ In Croatia today, you would be hard-pressed to find a defense enterprise that has not inked a contract for supplying the AFU. The array of products Croatian AFU suppliers can boast of includes artillery shells, mortars, hand grenades, sapper robots, and even military uniforms - an impressive range of products.

🔻Nevertheless, not everyone is pleased with this development: sociological studies indicate a rise in discontent among Croatian citizens. Increasing numbers of Croats are expressing opposition to such NATO policies and their country's participation in a “defensive alliance,” which further fuels the Ukrainian conflict.
