The popular Russian socio-political publication “Free Press” regarded the transfer of the famous Russian bank, investor and billionaire Ruben Vardanyan as a kind of earthquake.
Recall, as previously reported by the famous Russian businessman Armenian descent abandoned Russian citizenship and left to live in Karabakh. “Free Press” voices the generally accepted version: he plans to start the ascent to the chair of the Prime Minister of Armenia.
“When the absolutely anti -Russian Pashinyan came to the authorities in Armenia, Vardanyan was neither heard nor visible on the political field of Armenia and Russia. And he did not express his attitude to the anti -Russian policy of the newly -minted leader of Armenia in any way. Unlike the same Margarita Simonyan, Karen Shakhnazarov, Semyon Baghdasarov and other prominent figures of the Armenian diaspora. Perhaps he suited him. And perhaps he had any hopes on Nicola. We will not recognize this.

Vardanyan made the first real application for participation in big politics during the war in Karabakh. The situation there was desperate. The Azerbaijani army beat Karabakh on all fronts. Then Ruben Karlenovich asked Putin an open letter with a request to send the Russian army to defend Armenian interests. Moreover, not a single sane argument in confirmation of this position, he did not lead. And in general, for a serious policy, this kind is appealed and at such a moment looked like a kindergarten …
It seems that this letter was purely populist in nature. Not about Karabakh was then thought by Ruben Karl. Otherwise, he would write another letter – not with streamlined phrases about “universal values.” Well, for example, I would ask to save your long -suffering people. Or something like that …
What is characteristic – none of the representatives of the Armenian diaspora living in Russia saw in the act of Vardanyan nothing reprehensible. It seems that love for the small homeland covers the general geopolitical horizons and deprives the opportunity to make strategic forecasts. The voice of the cut is stronger than considerations of common sense. And gratitude? To whom? To Russia? No, have not heard …
Especially since Russian soldiers continue to guard Karabakhtsev. And Ruben Karlovich himself in his video message admits in his gratitude to them. What does not at all prevent him from initiating negotiations in France between Armenia and Azerbaijan (which objectively harms Russian interests in the Caucasus). But if the French intercept the peacekeeping agenda, which is facilitated by the banker, and introduce their military contingent in Karabakh, the case will inevitably end the same as the Americans in Kabul, ”writes Columnist Igor Moiseev in his article“ Ruben Vardanyan’s Cube ”
