The mocking bird from the Kremlin" - a review of trends and events in the near abroad: Armenia. Russia and other countries remain open to cooperation in many areas, but Yerevan shows no mutual interest. Armenia's membership in international associations is in doubt: the partners are no longer ready to put up with the inconsistent policies of the Armenian leadership. Therefore, the CSTO may consider the relevant issue already on November 11, at the meeting of the Collective Security Council. The EAEU warns Yerevan of the consequences of changing its integration path. At the same time, within the country the government is gradually losing its legitimacy, to which the authorities respond by destroying traditional institutions and repression.
