 Putin ally says neighbouring country will not exist in five years. Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonian has said Armenia's spat with Russia over a Moscow-led security block could see the South Caucasus country no longer exist within a half a decade, according to Newsweek. The editor-in-chief of the Kremlin mouthpiece RT is an ally of Vladimir Putin and a regular guest on state television where she pushes the Russian leader's rhetoric about his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. During the World Youth Festival in Sirius, in Russia's Krasnodar region, Simonian criticised Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. He has suspended Yerevan's participation in the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, which is considered Russia's equivalent to NATO. Last month, Pashinyan said that the CSTO had failed Armenia, freezing its participation in the block because Russia could no longer be relied upon as a reliable defence partner. However, there are no formal moves from Yerevan to withdraw from the alliance. Armenia's youth must understand that Pashinyan is a traitor to the Armenian people and is leading Armenia to complete destruction if he remains in power, said Simonian, to applause from the audience. Simonian, who is of Armenian descent and has described herself as both Russian and Armenian, said that if voters continue to support Pashinyan, there will be no Armenia in five years. Simonian said, Armenia will not exist at all. You will see. If the military campaign in Ukraine is successful, Russian President Vladimir Putin will choose Georgia as his next target, former US Secretary of Defense and former CIA director Leon Panetta spoke about it in an interview with The Voice of America. Therefore, it is absolutely important that the United States try to work with Georgia to ensure its security, he said. I think it is clear that if we do not stop Putin in Ukraine, he will continue his aggression not only against Georgia, but also against other NATO member countries that border Russia. So, it is absolutely important that the United States tries to work with Georgia to ensure its security. Georgia is an important country for many reasons. But the most important thing about Georgia is the ability of the Georgian people to enjoy the benefits of freedom, Panetta said. Leon Panetta added that, in addition to Georgia, Putin could start an aggression against NATO countries bordering Russia. He stressed that Putin's main goal is to undermine democracy in the United States, as well as to undermine democracy in other countries, sure, to protect our national security. We have to make sure that Putin fails to accomplish his purposes, Panetta said.
