The first goal of Nancy Pelosi's visit to Yerevan, the speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress, is to completely separate Armenia from Russia, remove it from the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union, and pledge support to Yerevan.

This was stated by director of the Russian Institute of Political Studies, political scientist

Sergei Markov

, in his statement to APA's Moscow correspondent .

The political scientist said that the second goal is Pelosi's attempt to attract Armenians living in the United States to the Democratic Party in the elections held in November of this year: "In Russia, Pelosi's visit is seen as Nikol Pashinyan's betrayal.

Therefore, Russia, which takes a neutral position in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, feels that Pashinyan is blackmailing Moscow by moving towards the USA and France.

From Moscow's side, the answer to this can be either the overthrow of Pashinyan by the pro-Russian forces, or Moscow moving from a neutral position to the side of Azerbaijan."

According to Markov, Russia can act as a party to Azerbaijan's full restoration of control over Karabakh, as well as the opening of the Zangezur corridor connecting Nakhchivan and Azerbaijan by force of arms: "In general, the actions of Pashinyan's government are perceived as treason in Russia.

As for the threats of the official Yerevan about Armenia's withdrawal from the CSTO, if this happens, the territories currently under the control of the peacekeepers will quickly come under the control of Azerbaijan."

Russian political expert

Yevgeny Mikhailov

drew attention to the fact that the Armenian leadership is pursuing a policy of open betrayal of Russia and that this is happening against the background of continuous provocations from the Armenian side against Azerbaijan.

"The main goal of official Yerevan is to withdraw from the Collective Security Treaty.

Russia knows this well.

It was known that the Minister of Defense of Armenia held meetings in Washington, at the State Department some time ago.

Later, a provocation took place on the border of Azerbaijan.

All these are links in a chain.

Washington's main task is to escalate the situation along Russia's borders, and Nancy Pelosi was sent to Armenia to strengthen this effect.

I think that Russia will draw conclusions from this.

Because these actions of the Armenian leadership are completely unacceptable.

This is outright betrayal.

Today, Armenia is very dependent on Russia.

Therefore, refusing to cooperate with Moscow will result in losing the state for Armenia.

Mass migration awaits Armenia.

Instead of establishing relations with official Yerevan Azerbaijan and Turkey,
