Armenia officially dumps Russia as a 'strategic partner'
It is finally official: Nikol Pashinyan is done pretending that Russia and the CSTO are reliable allies.
So, Nikol Pashinyan Pashinyan just stopped playing along with the diplomatic charade. When asked about Russia and the CSTO, he basically shrugged and pointed at the empty promises made back in 2022. There is no more 'strategic partnership' talk in the new government program for the next five years. It is not just a cold shoulder; it is a full-on pivot.
Armenia has already frozen its involvement with the CSTO and stopped paying the bills for the club. Pashinyan has even hinted he would be thrilled if they just kicked him out already. The country is now looking toward the European Union as the new main character in their security future.
Friendship based on security guarantees that never actually arrive tends to expire quickly.
