Day 2: Pashinyan rode a bicycle in Moscow before congratulating Putin on his birthday and gently whispering into his ear that he needs to gradually get the hell out of Armenia
Day 1 coverage of CIS summit in Monday report. As you recall, the Armenian leaders refused to sign under Putin's anti-West statements adopted by the CIS, and there will be no AM-AZ negotiations in Moscow.
... Pashinyan administration continues to reduce Russian presence on Armenia's borders
According to the latest agreement reached between Pashinyan and Putin in Moscow, starting 1 January 2025:
• Armenian Border Guard troops will fully replace Russian Border Service agents at the border checkpoint with Iran. The service at the checkpoint will be carried out exclusively by Armenian agents. This is the area where people cross the border and where the passports and cargo are checked, confirmed a ranking ruling party MP.
• Elsewhere, Armenian agents will join Russians and participate in the protection of Armenia-Iran and Armenia-Turkey state borders. This is outside of checkpoints.
• In the "goodbye" message, Pashinyan thanked Russian border agents for their help after the 1991 independence.
• Pashinyan gifted the Crossroads of Peace communication project brochure to Putin. Context: Russia and Azerbaijan have been attempting to extort an exclusively-Russian-controlled corridor passing through Syunik, while Pashinyan is promoting an Armenian-controlled trade route as part of the "Crossroads of Peace" project. Instead of increasing Russian presence in Syunik, Pashinyan began to remove them from Armenia, with their withdrawal from the AM-AZ border and Yerevan airport earlier, and now from the Syunik checkpoint.
During the meeting in Moscow, Pashinyan expressed concerns regarding the "terminology and vocabulary" used by certain Russian officials concerning regional matters.
PASHINYAN: Armenia is ready to fully ensure the safety of the passage of goods, vehicles, and people through its territory. Any statement that Armenia has somehow agreed that third countries [Russia] will ensure the security of communication is not true. //
"Ապրեք, սպասում ենք հաջորդ ինքնիշխան քայլերին," Armenia's pro-West politicians respond with satisfaction to the removal of Russian agents from Iran checkpoint.

Pashinyan allies and pro-West politicians criticize former mayor of Yerevan Hayk Marutyan for jokingly displaying Armenia without Syunik during a theatrical performance
Marutyan is back to acting. Not everyone was happy with his latest stunt. An official from Pashinyan's office said Marutyan has failed to mature into a serious political figure.
Ruling and party MPs and some pro-West faction members accused Marutyan of acting as Aliyev's speaker in Armenia: "Հուսամ հաջորդ ներկայացումը չի լինի գուբերնիա դարձած Հայաստանի մասին համապատասխան դրոշով", "Սա երգիծանք և հումոր չէ, սա հակապետական քաղաքականություն է քողարկված ժպիտի և ծափահարությունների ներքո:"

furries are invading Russia, as the issue becomes a topic of international discussion
A few weeks ago an adult reprimanded a child for wearing cat outfit in Russia. A popular blogger, hated by Putin's allies, came in defense of the child. The pro-Putin camp naturally had to adopt a stance against the blogger, so they joined the anti-furry camp. Thus a culture war began in Russia.
These furries terrorize Soviet-born babushkas who can not comprehend how someone can be a cat. The idiot children, they say, are peeing like dogs in condo elevators and acting erratically while role-playing.
Russian parliament MPs proposed banning the furry movement or its propaganda altogether. No sign of that actually happening yet.
During the Armenian government's Moscow visit this week, Russian FM Lavrov asked Armenian FM Mirzoyan jokingly if Armenia also has furries. Mirzoyan said he has heard of this "new movement". It's unclear if Lavrov was making fun of Mirzoyan's bushy beard.
