As the Armenian identified driver of the Ryder van attacked - Coincidentally, or not so much, Armenia had a coup on the very same day. It's pretty clear there was western involvement in the coup.
I've drawn a few comments out from Arevordi's blog- Heralding the Rise of Russia (always linked here) Arevordi is from Armenia. And you can avail yourself of additional commentary at his blog.

ArevordiApril 23, 2018 at 12:23 PMToday I woke up to learn that one of Levon Petrosian's smut-peddlers has succeeded in ousting Serj Sargsyan. This morning I was reminded again of the saying, the people deserve the governments they have. Nevertheless, a part of me is happy. There was no bloodshed. Seeing just how hated and despised he was, Serj Sargsyan had the wisdom to step down. Now, perhaps Karen Karapetyan can rise to power. Mass hysteria has transformed into mass euphoria. Needless to say, a part of me is also very worried. The fundamental question is this: The "people" got what it wanted, but what happens next? This is why it's not a good idea to break something before you get a better replacement. You can't break something, and then "hope" for something better to come. So, will unsavory characters and Western-financed agents (which we know saturate the Armenian landscape today) be able to grab power? Also, what kind of a precedence does this set: Every time 51%-plus of the people dislike their leader, they will disregard the nation's constitution and take to the streets to oust him or her from power? The reality of the matter is that Armenia stands today on the cusp of a perennial freak show and circus.

There is also somewhat of a surreal or supernatural feel to all this. It's as if we have been here before. It's as if ancient spectres are haunting us. It's as if the spirits of our failed ancestors are rising from their graves and leading us into yet another unknown. History is repeating. We are self-mutilating and predators in our neighborhood are smelling blood. We are once again opening the gates of our city to allow the enemy in. We are once again ready to tear to pieces our old prince and ask someone we don't even know to rule over us. We are once again getting ready to cut off the head of our sparapet, so that we may live in peace. The peasants are out in force, and they are ready to burn down their village to save it from phantoms both real and perceived. Collective hysteria has gripped the masses, and the moment has taken on a life of its own. It all seems/feels preordained by forces beyond our comprehension. So be it. I am just glad there was no widespread destruction and bloodshed.
Once more, I am very thankful that Serj Sargsyan had the clarity of vision or wisdom to refrain from using violence, especially with genocide commemorations upon us. Once more, I want to warn that "radical changes" will not make things better. At this point, we just need to be happy that Serj Sargsyan voluntarily stepped down, and put someone like Karen Karapetyan into power. And be quick about it.
SERZH SARGSYAN, who ruled Armenia as president from 2008 until this month, was a faithful client of Vladimir Putin. In 2013, after meeting with the Russian president, he abruptly dropped negotiations with the European Union and instead joined Moscow-led economic and security organizations.

Something I forgot to mention was about the amazing news out of Armenia - the people came onto the streets to protest their president the other day, so eventually he had to resign...you know, the usual, he's corrupt, driven the country right down the tubes etc etc. They'd had enough of him and so out he went. Yesterday's Van Attacker, with an obvious Armenian name, got me thinking... You know how I love those weird connections!
Some kind of political message - Turkey - Russia - they're all connected states - perhaps?

Also there are known Armenian terrorists groups who have operated right here in Canada Who not coincidentally have a real tie with the PKK
From earlier today:So,yes, the fact that he's an Armenian, of all the ethnic backgrounds in the Toronto area is quite, quite... connected to the bigger geopolitical
