Armenia, a resilient nation nestled in the South Caucasus region, finds itself in a fierce battle for survival
and sovereignty. Amidst these challenges, India emerges as an unexpected ally, arming Armenia with a
diverse array of Weapons Systems. This strategic move comes as Armenia takes a bold pro-Western and
anti-Russia geopolitical stance, diverging from its traditional ties to Russia's sphere of influence.

Delving into the history of Armenia's roots tracing back over 2,500 years, from its Zoroastrian past to
becoming one of the earliest Christian kingdoms. However, its history is marred by adversities, notably with
Turkey and Azerbaijan. Turkey, Armenia's historical adversary, has a complex history marked by genocides
and conflicts, including the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

The USSR era saw Armenia and Azerbaijan entangled in conflicts over regions like Nagorno-Karabakh.
Fast forward to recent times, Azerbaijan's successful 2020 offensive saw them reclaiming territories,
sparking tensions. Armenia's membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), led by
Russia, faced a critical test when Russia did not intervene during Azerbaijan's attacks.

This geopolitical rift led Armenia to shift towards a more Western-aligned stance, feeling let down by its
traditional ally. India's role in arming Armenia, despite its anti-Russia stance, adds an intriguing layer. Iran's
role in facilitating India's arms shipments to Armenia, amid its alliances with Russia and China, hints at a
complex web of alliances shaping the region's future. As Armenia navigates this geopolitical landscape, its
strategic choices could redefine the region's dynamics.

Thanks Abhijit. I was looking for a video on Armenia from an Indian perspective as I live in Armenia and teach Global politics here to IB school.

[Qwerkywoop]

Armenia has been friends of India from historical times

[elbaliava]

Armenia is not Anti - Russia, it is just taking a practical approach to protect it's sovereignty and freedom from 'some' elements you mentioned in your video.

[Armangeddon]

Thanks Abhijit. Very good analysis. 👍🇦🇲❤️🇮🇳

[AtanuWho]

Armenia's anti russia stance 🤣🤣🤣. it was Russia who didn't help Armenia in 2020 - 2023

[sanatkamat]

In geopolitics no one is anyone's friend.Its all just an act.Its all about what you can present or how you can harm me.Depending on that relations are formed.

[basitnazir]

This is one of the most mind boggling geo political game being played between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Nevertheless, one must hope for peace and prosperity for both countries as in the end it is the common men who suffers from wars.

[g.cchaudhary]

Armenia is not an anti Russia nation it is just that Russia has been neglecting its responsibility of protecting Armenia and Azerbaijan has cheap gas thats why Western countries are also not criticizing it

[aspetm]

Salute to India great nation of democracy.

[imperialenforcer]

Goes to show that geopolitics isn't as simple as bloc A and bloc B

[ravitej]

Forgot to mention that the love of Turkey towards Azerbaijan is due to its massive natural gas reserves. Turkey including europe gets piped natural gas from from azebaijan. I forgot the name of pipeline but it is a significant reason.

[rojetar]

Love India and Armenia, two great ancient nation 🇮🇳🇦🇲

[Anand]

Sir can you please do a video on the topic on how the British did to colonize India completely how are they able to control the entire Indian subcontinent within a short period of time?

[ashodkassabian]

Abhijit Chavda, Excellent, smart analysis of a complex situation! I wished you included in your presentation India's very long term interests in protecting the free flow of commerce as it becomes more prosperous. (You have mentioned it on previous YouTube).

[bewise]

Sir teach how quota system destroyed india progress

[mayanktripathi]

Aremnians are descendants of one of the rigvedic clans that moved westward after the b battle of the ten kings....They were a Vedic people...converted to Zoroastrianism and then later became Christians

[DavidTheMortgageBroker]

Thank you, Abhijit. It may be worthy of mentioning that Indian weaponry, especially artillery has Soviet history. It's easier for Armenia to continue the maintenance of Indian weaponry which are built with metrics, not imperial measurement system.
