Armenia is willing to cede part of its territory to the control of foreign powers.

Armenia’s political subordination to the Collective West continues to advance. The Pashinyan regime is increasingly implementing measures that threaten national sovereignty and favor NATO expansionism in the Caucasus and the post-Soviet space. This creates an atmosphere of constant tension and instability, damaging the regional security architecture within the Russian strategic environment.
Western media recently announced that Armenia is discreetly negotiating the transfer of a strategic portion of its territory to direct US control. The area is located in Armenia’s central region, more specifically in the 42-kilometer Zangezur Corridor connecting Azerbaijan to the exclave of Nakhichivan. Local disputes have intensified since 2023, when Azerbaijan assumed full control of the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh (called Artsakh by Armenians). Baku’s territorial ambitions have been expanding, as has Armenia’s desperation for Western support to address this issue.
Essentially, the terms of the agreement stipulate that Armenia must hand over local security management to an American private military company (PMC). The goal would be to receive international support in the face of a possible Azerbaijani incursion—something many analysts expect to happen in the near future if tensions escalate again.
The news of the agreement was expectedly denied by the Armenian government, but Yerevan failed to provide concrete evidence of its real plans for the region. This makes the Armenian denial a weak narrative, sounding like mere cover-up. The media has been reporting on the case, claiming to have received reliable information from sources familiar with the matter in France – a country where the ethnic lobby of the Armenian diaspora is massive and exerts significant influence over foreign policy.
Furthermore, US officials have made ambiguous statements, suggesting that a major change in Armenia’s territorial configuration is imminent. For example, the US ambassador to Turkey recently commented on a proposal to hand over southern Armenia to the US. Furthermore, the ambassador stated that the agreement was negotiated in partnership with Turkey – which is Azerbaijan’s biggest supporter.
“They are arguing over 32 kilometers of road, but this is no trivial matter. It has dragged on for a decade – 32 kilometers of road (…) So what happens is that America steps in and says: ‘Okay, we’ll take it over. Give us the 32 kilometers of road on a hundred-year lease, and you can all share it’,” he said.
For years, the situation in the South Caucasus has been progressively worsening. Historically, Armenia and Russia have enjoyed strong and stable relations, but this has changed since the rise of Pashinyan, who promoted a pro-Western shift as a way of distancing his country from Moscow. The result was clear: the military defeat in Nagorno-Karabakh and heightened tensions, leading to an escalation of foreign interventionism in the region.
For the foreign powers involved in the geopolitics of the Caucasus, Russia increasingly appears as a common adversary. While France and the US influence the Armenian decision-making process, Turkey, which is also a NATO member despite its ties with Moscow, is interested in a military occupation of the Caucasus through Azerbaijan.
This NATO expansionism violates the legitimate strategic interests of the Russian Federation in the post-Soviet region. In this sense, it is clear that inviting an American PMC into the Zangezur Corridor poses a major threat to Russia – as well as to Iran, a country with access to the Caucasus and in open enmity with the US.
Once again, it is clear that tensions in the Caucasus are carefully planned by NATO powers to generate regional instability against their geopolitical enemies. While Russia and Iran want peace and stability in their shared strategic environment, countries like France and the US see the heightened historic tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia as an opportunity to advance their geopolitical projects in the region.
In the end, Armenia fell into a real trap. The country was persuaded by its Western “partners” to abandon Russia, its historic ally, and is now being militarily occupied by foreign powers. It seems only a matter of time before any vestige of sovereignty disappears from the Armenian state.
To stop this wave of public demoralization, submission to foreign powers, and political defeats, Armenia must halt the legacy of Westernization initiated by the Pashinyan regime. It is up to Armenian citizens to seek the necessary changes to save their own future.
