Armenia Has Been the Most Vulnerable During Biden's Presidency

If Mr. O'Brien speaks about Armenia's vulnerabilities, I must note that the Republic of Armenia has been the most vulnerable during his and their administration's tenure. I want to remind that of the events in 2021, 2022, and 2023,

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during a press briefing.

“We have never been satisfied with the response and the work that the then-current U.S. administration has provided to support the peace agenda in our region,” Pashinyan added.

The Prime Minister referred to O'Brien's following article: “It is inappropriate to ask such a skeptical question immediately after a positive event. The occasion revealed two truths: The U.S. is an important player in the South Caucasus, which has long been under Russian domination, and peace is achievable even if the political leaders of the two countries (especially Azerbaijan) prepare their societies for war. This also indicates the critical personal involvement of Trump in the affairs of this pivotal region, which could bring significant economic benefits in the future. Furthermore, Trump's involvement may have been a key factor in the signing of this agreement.

In the Biden administration, we did not propose that the president personally participate in this process, as there were concerns about the tens of thousands of Armenians who fled Nagorno-Karabakh in 2023, as well as the pressures being exerted by Azerbaijan on civil society, including threats to expel USAID.

Now, the Trump administration itself has suspended USAID funding, and the ceremony held at the White House signals that Washington is no longer concerned about Azerbaijan's military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020 and 2023. Biden's approach was practically equivalent to peace, which key parties would implement immediately after reaching an agreement,” O'Brien noted in his article.
