"Fact". As a result of the new division of influence zones, will the South Caucasus come under the control of the Russian Federation?

"Fact" daily writes: "The presidential elections in the USA ended, Donald Trump became president again. Many experts are sure that the results of the US presidential elections will have an impact on the geopolitical situation in general, including the status quo created in the South Caucasus and Armenia.

American expert Suren Sargsyan in a conversation with "Fact" reminds that during the first four years of Trump's tenure, we saw a passive policy towards this region, but now the situation is a little different. "The United States has been actively working here for at least the last four years, and has been actively involved in the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations. I don't think that Trump will not deal with us at all, as he did not deal with us four years ago during his presidency. There can be some activity in this direction, particularly due to the fact that there are people around him who are well aware of Armenian problems, know in general where, so to speak, Armenia is, what problems it has, etc., he says. :

The "Republic Square" telegram channel, which is known for its analyses, also covered the topic. According to the authors, the situation in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine and the China-US relations will be a priority for Trump. "The newly elected president of the USA has announced that the cessation of wars in the world will be a priority for him. The end of the Ukrainian war will mark a new page in Russia-USA relations, a new division of the world into zones of geopolitical influence," the article states.

As for Armenia, it is noted that Pashinyan and CP have been conducting an anti-Russian foreign policy for years, they want to freeze all military-political ties with Moscow, including those within the framework of the CSTO. "For the USA, Russia will continue to be a geopolitical rival, but for Washington, the number one enemy is China and China's growing power. Trump will not want to aggravate relations with Russia, hoping that after the end of the war in Ukraine, Russia will be able to restore ties with the EU and the West and not go to a closer military-political alliance with China.

As a result of the new division of spheres of influence in the world, the South Caucasus will come under the control of the Russian Federation. The USA will allow Russia to go for deeper integration with the post-Soviet countries, and under these conditions, RA will be in the zone of Russian influence. The results of the elections in Georgia showed that Georgia does not want to repeat the fate of Ukraine and become an anti-Russian springboard. Georgia and Azerbaijan are moving into the zone of Russian influence, at the moment Azerbaijan has deep economic, energy and political ties with Moscow, Georgia is restoring ties with the Russian Federation, despite the West's complaints, and in this status quo, Pashinyan and CP have nothing left. rather than returning to the re-establishment of deep alliance ties with Moscow.

Otherwise, Pashinyan and his team should resign and pro-Russian forces come to power in RA, as happened in Georgia," the authors believe. It is also noted that a certain warming is expected in the US-Russian relations. The fate of Ukraine will be decided in the Putin-Trump negotiations, which will affect the future of the South Caucasus and Armenia. The US can promise Moscow not to try to create anti-Russian platforms from the post-Council territories, and in that case, Pashinyan's anti-Russian rhetoric and CP's propaganda against Russia will no longer be relevant and in demand in Washington."
