The Russians have a rather amusing and mind-bogglingly peculiar doll, famous under its own name: the russkiy matryoshka. Whenever you lift the lid of one, another identical doll emerges from inside. The peculiar feature of this strange toy is that, no matter how many times you take it apart, the replicas never seem to end.

Political figures who have defended the Armenian diaspora and separatist elements throughout the former Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, both in the past and today, bear a striking resemblance to this Russian nesting doll. Wherever you go, you encounter another figure cut from the same cloth. It makes little difference whether it is France, Lithuania or the other side of the Atlantic. They are bound together by the same mould, the same ideological reflexes and, more often than not, the same political cause. Take, for instance, Lithuania’s former foreign minister, Gabrielius Landsbergis.

The decision is particularly noteworthy given........
