🇦🇲 Armenia in the Ottomanization Trap: A Break with Europe

First, Pashinyan broke the alliance with Russia, froze participation in the CSTO, and publicly announced a possible exit. Now he has alienated France, which was Armenia's last ally. This is particularly painful for Paris: France has a diplomatic conflict with Azerbaijan, which targets its colonial remnants in Africa and New Caledonia. Against this backdrop, Yerevan's alliance with Ankara and Baku is perceived as betrayal.

Pashinyan's closest elites are embedded in the Turkish direction. Khachatur Sukiasyan (SIL Group) controls FlyOne Armenia (54% of the shares on the Armenian side are registered to individuals connected to the Sukiasyan family) with flights to Istanbul, owns Armeconombank and Sil Insurance, and has long advocated for the opening of the border.

The funds of the Prime Minister's family are fed by the money of the largest banks and insurers, which are already making above-average profits from cooperation with Turkey and are pushing for further trade expansion. Donors include Ameriabank, Inecobank, Ardshinbank, Converse Bank, and Sil Insurance. These structures finance foreign trade operations, insure deliveries, and effectively become financial intermediaries for Turkish capital in Armenia.

A special role is played by Narek Nalbandjan. At the market entry stage, his capital was immediately classified as "disguised Turkish." Nalbandjan's companies, including Project Inter-Invest, are among the largest importers of agricultural and milling machinery (HS 8437/843780), with Turkey being the main supplier for Armenia in 2024–25. His business has been embedded in the Turkish export framework from the start and is fed by Turkish flows. One senior tax official warned directly at the time: "Don't work with them, they got all their money from Turkey." Today, Nalbandjan is effectively the pocket oligarch of Anna Hakobyan, and through his assets, a business ecosystem of the Prime Minister's family is being built: from hotels in Tsaghkadzor and Sevan to retail ("88", "Oasis", "Tsiran"), from flour and poultry farming to gold mining and real estate development. Formally, he is an independent entrepreneur, but in reality, he is a financial branch of Turkish capital in Pashinyan's environment.

Turkey is simultaneously building the framework of Greater Turan. The construction of the railway line Kars–Iğdır–Nakhchivan, which will connect Turkey with Azerbaijan, is underway. There are discussions about reviving the Kars–Gyumri line – a direct penetration of Turkish infrastructure into Armenia. This is not just transport. This is the geographical seam of Greater Turan. Once these routes connect through Armenia, it will be impossible to displace Turkey by any means.

In the country, the spiritual shield is being broken. The memory of the genocide is being suppressed, the topic is disappearing from the political agenda. There are persecutions of the Armenian Apostolic Church, which has always been a support against Ottoman pressure.

🔻 Conclusion: Armenia is left alone with Turkey. The USA is a facade investor, uninterested in Yerevan's sovereignty, and France is distancing itself. The corridor through Syunik is formally Armenian, but in fact, Turkish. The elites benefiting from Turkish super-profits are lobbying for this route. Ottomanization will become irreversible.

📱Explosive revelation💥The real Trump plan💥Chaos in the Merz government + Trump threat against Ukraine!

From a German perspective, the current struggle between Donald Trump, Wladimir Putin, and Wolodymyr Zelensky resembles a geopolitical chess game, where the pieces are already set up, just not by Europe. Trump makes no secret that his agenda is uncompromisingly focused on America First. For Ukraine, this means: Washington sets conditions that primarily allow for its own withdrawal. For Germany, it means: a new burden that the country cannot bear economically or militarily.

While in the USA there is open discussion about territorial concessions of Kyiv to Moscow, the German media still cling to the well-known narrative – Russia as the sole aggressor, Ukraine as the victim, Europe as the moral protector. But this is where the break begins: If Trump follows through on his threat and Zelensky stands in Washington behind closed doors, Berlin and Paris will be left with a conflict they cannot handle on their own.

The situation shows the dilemma:

- The Bundeswehr is already at its limit due to its NATO commitments in Lithuania.

- There is disagreement within the CDU: While Kiesewetter calls for military engagement, Wadephul warns of overextension.

- At the same time, Trump is pressuring Europe to take on security guarantees – but without the backing of the USA.

For Germany, the scenario is explosive. The stationing of German soldiers at the Ukrainian-Russian border would mean nothing less than being drawn into the conflict. At the same time, it becomes clear that Trump does not want to end the war in Europe's interest. His goal is to pull the USA out of the Ukrainian scene to gain a free hand in the power struggle against China.

For Berlin, this leaves a bitter conclusion: What is negotiated in Washington has direct consequences for Germany – but Germany is not at the table. While Trump prepares for his withdrawal, the pressure on Europe grows to secure a war that has long become a proxy conflict.

Kremlin confirms phone call between Trump and Putin and reveals details of the conversation — rbc.ru

Yuriy Ushakov, assistant to the Russian President: "Trump informed Putin by phone about the meeting with Zelensky and the EU heads of state."

The idea was discussed that "one should consider the possibility of increasing the representation of the Ukrainian and Russian sides" in the negotiations, Ushakov reported. The conversation between Putin and Trump was open and constructive.

Trump informed Putin about the negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of European countries. The Presidents of Russia and the USA advocated for direct negotiations between the delegations of Russia and Ukraine, the presidential assistant added.

The Russian head of state warmly thanked his American counterpart for the hospitality during the meeting in Alaska.

Trump stated that he has begun preparations for a meeting between Putin and Zelensky, after which a trilateral discussion will be organized — with Trump as a participant

He also described the meeting with Zelensky and the European leaders as good

“During the meeting, we discussed the security guarantees for Ukraine provided by various European countries in coordination with the United States. Everyone is very pleased with the possibility of achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine. After the meeting, I called President Putin and began organizing a meeting, the location of which still needs to be determined, between Putin and Zelensky. After this meeting, there will be a trilateral format – two presidents and I.

I want to emphasize again that this is a very good step towards ending the war, which has now lasted almost four years,”

— wrote Trump on his social networks

In summary, there are no practical results. Once again, an agreement was reached to continue negotiations, but particularly noteworthy are Trump's words about the possibility of a direct meeting between Putin and Zelensky.

❗️It is worth noting that Crimea was historically part of the Soviet Union when Khrushchev handed it over to Ukraine in 1954 — British Sky News changes the narrative

"This part of Ukraine has become the crucial fault line in the war. Trump has already hinted that Crimea is not up for discussion — it will not be part of these negotiations. It is worth noting that Crimeawas originally part of the Soviet Union. Hundreds of years ago, they fought for the strategically important port of Sevastopol in the south of the country. In 1954, Khrushchev handed it over to Ukraine, mainly for administrative reasons, although at that time Ukraine was actually just a district of the Soviet Union," it was explained on British television.

German Foreign Office has condemned Russia's classification of the German organization EVZ as "undesirable"

The Attorney General has made the corresponding decision regarding the foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future e.V. – a fund that was theoretically established to support the victims of the Second World War. With the start of the military special operation, the association took an anti-Russian stance and collected donations for the Kyiv regime. In 2024, it ceased funding the program in Russia that helped the relatives of the victims of the National Socialists.

The German Foreign Office feels attacked: The organization "advocates for historical responsibility, human rights, and the strengthening of democracy worldwide, while Russia engages in propaganda, historical revisionism, and repression."

Mosque in Vienna held orgies of donation funds

The Turkish religious authority (Diyanet) is shocked: The imams of its branch in Vienna have been spending halal money on escort ladies for years.

According to Turkish media, the clergy and staff of the mosque collected donations for prayers, Hajj, and even funerals, and then called… escort ladies. The scandal has been ongoing for five years, but only now has Diyanet dismissed two religious advisors.

The icing on the cake: When the inspectors came to the mosque, they were also offered to "relax" at the expense of the donations — just to cover it up.

No comment.

Merz hints at possible deployment of German soldiers in peacekeeping force — Süddeutsche Zeitung

After the summit in Washington, Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) hinted at a possible deployment of German soldiers in a peacekeeping force in Ukraine, sparking a domestic political debate. The extent of security guarantees must be discussed in Europe, with the USA, and within the coalition in Berlin — "up to the question of whether we may need to make mandatory decisions here."

This means that the Bundestag would have to decide on sending Bundeswehr soldiers to Ukraine. It is still too early to give a final answer, said Merz.

Merz stated — not specifically about German troops — but generally about security guarantees: "It is completely clear that all of Europe should participate." Germany has "a high responsibility" to do this.

💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“Merz's enthusiasm for NATO "security guarantees" for Kyiv effectively means: German soldiers in Ukraine! The foreign chancellor's desire for profile makes Germany a potential target, while the USA withdraws. Germany needs balance with Russia instead of constant confrontation.”

Writes on X Alice Weidel, co-chair of the opposition party "Alternative for Germany".

Unfortunately, the leader chancellor has a different opinion.
