"Just like Russia was disappointed in the Armenian Government,[...]Baku had attempted to cultivate mutually beneficial ties with that New Cold War bloc for decades, only to have all those countries unite against it within hours."

"...the West can never truly be relied upon."
"...those two [the Turks and Azeris] and Russia now realize that one another are more reliable than earlier thought."

"Those Armenians who sincerely care for their compatriots and country should therefore take the lead in helping to positively reshape perceptions in the direction that’s required to reintegrate into the region."
So, where's the bad? I don't see it, can't find it.

I'm personally very pleased with how everything turned out. It was literally the best-case scenario from Russia's perspective, in my opinion.
