Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan says "Armenia no longer has interests in CSTO" The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is a military-political alliance between Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Armenia, built around a principle similar to Article 5 of NATO. In 2021 and 2022, during clashes on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, Yerevan formally requested assistance from the CSTO. However, none of the allies provided support. Moreover, Belarus, a military partner of Armenia within the alliance, has officially supplied weapons to Azerbaijan. And Russia, in turn, continued to exploit and fuel this conflict for its own political interests for a long time. Against the background of Armenia's approach to the European Union, Vladimir Putin threatened Armenia with a "Ukrainian scenario".
