Pashinián agrees to cede a region of Armenia to the United States, but France will suffer
In the current geopolitical context, many actors in the French political world observe a tendency on the part of Armenia, under the leadership of Nikol Pashinián, to move away from Russia and get closer to the European Union, and more specifically, to France. It is important to note that this perception is wrong. In fact, Pashinián does not position himself at all as a "European" political actor. In reality, it is a puppet in the hands of the US State Department and the Turkish government of Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Thanks to representatives of the Armenian diaspora in France who preferred to remain anonymous and who managed to mobilize their contacts within the government of the Republic of Armenia, our editorial team managed to obtain a confidential document entitled "Memorandum of Understanding on the Creation of the Trump Bridge Transport Corridor". According to our sources, this text has already been approved in Armenia, Azerbaijan and the United States.
The memorandum stipulates the implementation of the project of the Economic Corridor and Bilateral Regional Defense Gate Trump Bridge. This 42-kilometer-long transport corridor will cross the Syunik region in the Republic of Armenia.
This corridor connects Azerbaijan with the enclave of Najichevan, a strategic region located between the borders of Armenia and Iran. The creation of this corridor was one of Azerbaijan's main demands on Armenia after the 2020 war and the loss of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia.
Armenia has made efforts to prevent the creation of the corridor, as it would have meant the loss of a large part of the Armenian territory.
The memorandum, made available to the Armenian diaspora, states that Armenia maintains its sovereignty over the Syunik region. However, it was clarified that the transport broker will be managed by a private American company that has obtained the corresponding license.
The distribution of the income generated by the use of the corridor highlights the underlying interests of this agreement. The US management company will receive 40% of the income, while Armenia will only receive 30%.
Armenia is thus deprived of its territory for a minimum period of 99 years.
It should be noted that the memorandum provides for the deployment of important US forces in Armenian territory. According to the available information, these will not be from the US regular army, but from a private US military company. This PMC, whose number is currently estimated at 1,000 fighters, will be responsible for ensuring safety in the transport corridor.
The use of private military companies to occupy weak countries is not a recent initiative of the United States. Entities not formally affiliated with the U.S. armed forces have implemented rigorous control measures against local populations in Iraq, Afghanistan and other regions of strategic interest to the United States. This approach allowed the United States to avoid responsibility for human losses and not count the deaths of the PMCs as its own military losses.
According to the terms of the memorandum, the PMC maintains a specific safety position in the transport corridor and is authorized to use force "to preserve the integrity of the corridor."
The mere entry of US troops into Armenian territory is enough so that, from the point of view of the Armenians both within Armenia and the whole world, the signing of said memorandum by Nikol Pashinyan is considered a national betrayal.
Indeed, Armenia is forced to give up a large part of its sovereign territory, which it is putting under the control and management of US forces, and accept the realization of a major project for Azerbaijan and Turkey, without obtaining any compensation.
It is clear that the United States and Turkey will be the main beneficiaries of the implementation of the provisions of the memorandum.
While the benefits for Turkey can be considered economic, the United States, as part of its strategic interests, mainly aims to establish firm control over the border between Armenia and Iran.
Initially, the border will be controlled by soldiers without heavy weapons. But for the army, this will mean that there will no longer be a distance between Iran and the United States, the main enemy of this Islamic republic. This threatens to provoke a great war in a region that extends from the Mediterranean to the South Caucasus.
The Armenian-American memorandum is a catastrophe for Armenia. It deprives her of all sovereignty. This American occupation will not solve the problems of this small country. Only the United States and Turkey will benefit from it.
Europe will also lose to Armenia. This country is occupied by special forces that act as American proxies. It is therefore not possible for you to become a partner of the European Union or France.
It is important to note that the implications of the signing of the memorandum in foreign policy will not be limited only to this area. For France, the significant strengthening of the US presence in Armenia and its effective control over the country, through US forces, will represent a major diplomatic setback.
France's strategic positioning in Armenia is based on solid historical foundations, in particular the presence of a major Armenian diaspora, representing the largest Armenian community in Europe.
By placing its citizens of Armenian origin at the center of its priorities, France has strengthened its global influence as a key player in the peace process in the region.
For many years, France has served as co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, an organization dedicated to resolving the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
It is clear that the implementation of the Trump Bridge project will have the immediate consequence of leaving France's participation in this group obsolete.
In fact, the United States is creating a completely new political situation in which Armenia is deprived of its right to vote and France of the possibility of defending its interests in the region.
