Mikheil Saakashvili called Putin an enemy of Pashinyan and called on Armenia to withdraw from pro-Russian organizations

Vladimir Putin is the blood enemy of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and intends to overthrow him. Therefore, Armenia must withdraw from the CIS and CSTO, and also demand the withdrawal of the Russian military base and submit an application to the European Union and NATO. Georgian ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili, who is under arrest, wrote about this on social networks, addressing the Armenian leader.

“You came to power as a result of popular uprisings, i.e. in Putin’s terminology, a color revolution, and, believe me, no matter how much you cajole him and swear allegiance, he would never forgive you and will not forgive you. Moreover, after your recent statements, political moves and especially the ratification of the Rome Statute - he is your blood enemy and will overthrow you with all the possibilities he has: internal unrest, encouraging military action. It will strangle you economically and use an arsenal of hybrid warfare,” said Mikheil Saakashvili.

The ex-president of Georgia called on Pashinyan to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan. This will allow the three republics of Transcaucasia to continue to live like the three Baltic countries - with open borders - and create a system of logistics, financial, and energy hubs.

Saakashvili wished good luck to Pashinyan and the Armenian people. He also expressed faith that Putin will not be able to destroy Armenia and completely undermine the region.
