Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan criticized the CSTO, asserting that it "doesn't ensure its security obligations towards Armenia" and instead "creates threats for Armenia's security and future existence." He revealed that Armenia's increasing distancing from the alliance, especially since the Ukraine invasion, shows the failure of CSTO to provide effective support.
The wave of discontent from Armenia towards the CSTO represents a decline in Russia's influence, as Pashinyan pointedly stated that "We are not Russia's ally" during a February 2023 statement, accentuating Armenia's re-evaluation of its military partnerships.
