This is extreme exaggeration. Armenians in no way ever “lost” their language and Christianity. There is nothing to be (re-)discovered. It is also worth noting that the Armenian people harbor virtually zero animosity toward Russians. This ousting of “pro-Kremlin” Sargsyan had pretty much nothing to do with Russia and everything to do with the fact that he and his brother are massive crooks who stole everything they could get their hands on.
I sent you a more detailed PM, but in a nutshell: you betcha this was a verdict on crooked Putin and his kleptocratic, megomaniacal models of governance. It is not a rejection of Russian cultural ties altogether.
