Quote: "It seems that with the hybrid war unleashed by the Russian media against Armenia, the promises were like in a famous fairy tale: the one who tells the biggest lie will get half of the palace/Kremlin," Harutyunyan wrote.

Details: He cited a fake propagated by Russian propagandists that protesters in Yerevan broke into the government building on 20 September and "found American paratroopers" there.

Harutyunyan stressed that on that day the protesters did not storm the governmental building, as well as pointed out that "not a single American paratrooper was there".

"How did it happen that the worst propagandists of Russian TV channels are Armenians: Margarita Simonyan, Tigran Keosayan, Aram Gabrielyanov, Semyon Baghdasarov, Roman Babayan, Sergey Kurginyan, Andranik Migranyan, etc.," he added.

On 19 September, Azerbaijan launched an "anti-terrorist" operation against Nagorno-Karabakh, its internationally recognized territory, and announced its end the next day.

Many Armenians are outraged by the inaction of Russia and its so-called "peacekeepers" in Karabakh.

In particular, Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister of Armenia, called the security structures that his country has been relying on ineffective, hinting at Russian "peacekeepers". 

On 22 September, two men threw bags of red paint at the entrance to the Russian Embassy in Yerevan.
