All right, Alexander, let's talk about the growing tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

And, you know, you did a locals live stream.

You do locals, live streams, exclusive live streams, every Wednesday,

the durand.locals.com.

So you can find that on locals. But in that live stream, someone asked you a question about Armenia and Azerbaijan.

This was about a week, maybe two weeks ago even.

And you said that your hunch on what's going on between Armenia and Azerbaijan is that

Bashinian and the Armenian elite, they've always wanted to get rid of the

geopolitical football, the headache, the geopolitical headache that is for them, in their view, is

Nagorno-Karabakh. This is how they see it. And if they can remove this geopolitical obstacle,

then for this political elite, they can move Armenia into the European Union and eventually

into NATO and out of the Russian orbit.

Unfortunately, that's a terrible move

because Russia is the only country that is protecting

Armenia at this moment in time.

But that was your hunch on things.

I think that's correct.

I think that's exactly what's going on and uh armenia in kind of the same way as as ukraine i'm not saying it's

the exact same way but there are similarities armenia is being led down uh down what did uh

professor mersheimer say down the Primrose? What was his statement?

The Primrose path?

It was the primrose path.
