Oh my God, what will Putin think of this talk between the leader of Armenia and the American Secretary of State?
Has Putin thrown a temper tantrum over this yet?
Will he insist that Armenia close the American embassy in Yerevan?
Will he send another birthday card to Kocharyan?
Will he put another pan-Turkic corridor through Armenia as punishment?
You never know how Putin will react.
Desperate measures by Nicole in increasingly difficult times.
