Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced the country has 'frozen' all levels of participation in the CSTO, indicating a significant shift away from Russian influence.
Pashinyan emphasized, 'The Armenian public may hold different opinions about our choice, but we do not see the need to reconsider the decision to suspend our involvement in CSTO events.'
Since February, Armenia has not participated in CSTO military exercises or political meetings, effectively distancing itself from the organization and its Russian-led agenda.
Tensions between Armenia and Russia have escalated since the Ukraine invasion, with Pashinyan stating, 'We are not Russia's ally in the war with Ukraine,' showcasing Armenia's strategic pivot.
