Replace Russian Soldiers in Armenia with Greek Observers?
The Armenian Mirror-Spectator discusses the criticism of Russian troop presence in Armenia.
American critics and Turkish propagandists argue that the Russian presence is evidence of Armenia being a Russian satrapy, hostile to Western interests.
It is an argument false on its face and ignorant of history.
Historically, the Red Army established a military base in Gyumri, Armenia's second largest city, at the end of World War II, initially housing the 261st Rifle Division.
- The unit was redesignated as the 37th Rifle Division and then the 127th Motor Rifle Division after the Cold War began.
- Soviet Armenia and Nakhchivan's border with Turkey was one of only two borders the Soviet Union shared with NATO.
Author's summary: Russian presence in Armenia is a historical fact, not a sign of satrapy.
