Replace Russian Soldiers in Armenia with Greek Observers?
American critics and Turkish propagandists in the Washington think tank and lobbying world continue to criticize the Russian troop presence in Armenia as evidence that Armenia is a Russian satrapy and hostile to Western interests.
This argument is false and ignorant of history. The Red Army established a military base in Gyumri, Armenia’s second largest city, at the end of World War II to house the 261st Rifle Division.
After the Cold War began, Soviet Armenia and Nakhchivan’s border with Turkey, was one of only two the Soviet Union shared with NATO. Moscow redesignated the unit, first as the 37th Rifle Division and then the 127th Motor Rifle Division.
It is an argument false on its face and ignorant of history.
Author's summary: Critics argue Russian troops in Armenia signify a Russian satrapy.
