Pashinyan Says Armenia Must Look for Other Security Partners

Responding to questions posed by opposition MPs today whether the Armenian government intends to pull out of the Russian-backed CSTO military alliance, Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan noted that Russia has refused to sell arms to Armenia, and in such conditions, Armenia should look for other security partners.

Pashinyan, when asked to explain why he will not attend a November 23 CSTO session in Minsk, said he’s decided not to go for “various reasons”.

Pashinyan again stressed that CSTO has not properly responded to Armenia’s security challenges, adding that the public wants to know why Armenian officials continue to attend such meetings and return emptyhanded.

Pashinyan noted that by not participating in these events, both Armenia and the CSTO are given time to think about their future actions.

Opposition Armenia (Hayastan) faction MP Agnesa Khamoyan described the government's policy as risky and ill-conceived.

Pashinyan did not go to Bishkek to attend the October 12 CIS summit in Bishkek.

We Armenians knew somehow that Russia will betray us for its own survival , but nobody wanted to talk about it openly, AND this is the fallowing :! Criminal president of Azerbaijan was well aware of the very fact that so called security guaranties and deals signed between Armenia and Russia are not even worth paper written on it., Baku/Ankara very 100% sure that Russia will betray Armenia once again !!! War criminal president of Azerbaijan only needed the support of Erdogan and Turkish army to attack Karabakh... This was actions of Russia in Georgia which put Armenia in a total land blocked , a land blocked which helped at the end only our enemies during Karabakh war ! ALL Armenian politicians and political parties and envy Armenian has to be aware of the fact that Armenia for Russia and its politicians is just a "commercial good", and NOTHING ELSE.. . Russia needs Armenia because Russia is well aware of the fact what Turks are intersexed in and Turks know how to make bossiness with Russia. Many times Russian have send "strategic " important messages to Baku and Ankara, which were ignored by Armenian politician forces for many years. AT the end this was hidden Putin and Erdogan deal which put an end to Karabakh republic! If Russia like to stay in Armenia this is not to protect Armenia or its territorial integrity but to be able to "sell " or offer another portion of our land to Turks for exchange of somethin else o! We Armenians should never again relay on Russia . NO need to look back what happened to Kars and Ani but see what Russia did with Karabakh with Turkish Erdogan. LET RUSSIA annulated Kars treaty signed with Turkey and condemn all action of Baku in regard to Karabakh,...otherers the sooner Russian forces leave Armenia the better.. No county in the world would like to have such a county as Russia as its so called " strategic partner" ,a county that betray us again and again
