DISINFO: The government of Armenia obediently implements globalists' programmes

SUMMARY

The government of Armenia, which was brought to power by the globalists in 2018, obediently implements their programmes.

The war in Artsakh, the perversion of the people, the vaccinations, all these are globalist programmes.

RESPONSE

A recurring narrative promoting the message about global elites secretly ruling the world, changing powers, provoking colour revolutions, and threatening traditional values. The disinfo claim also includes a recurring narrative about vaccinations as a globalists new plot against the world.

The idea of a "deep state" or global elites has always been very popular among conspiracy theorists.

There was no coup organised by globalists in Armenia, but peaceful protests of hundreds of thousands of people in response to Serzh Sargsyan's third consecutive term as the country’s prime minister and former president for a decade. Sargsyan resigned in response to overwhelming opposition pressure.

The escalation in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in 2020 was a continuation of the decades-old conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

This article also aimed at portraying the West as immoral, degenerate, spreading perversion. The narrative of 'threatened values' is one of the most common narratives used by pro-Kremlin outlets.

See earlier disinformation cases alleging that global neo-colonialists stage colour revolutions and conquer indigenous national elites, that Armenia is under Soros occupation, that Armenia is occupied by foreign agent network, and that CIA and MI6 changed power in Armenia in order to oust Russia from the region.
