Armenia is strengthening security ties with Britain while rethinking its security system. A bilateral security consultation was held in London, during which senior military officials discussed regional security issues and areas for further cooperation. The meeting resulted in the signing of the cooperation plan for 2026-2027. The next round of consultations is planned for Yerevan. Cooperation between the two countries already has a practical basis: British military advisers were involved in the training of the Armenian instructors, in London there is a security department in the Armenian embassy, and in Yerevan there is a post of the British military attache. The signed program documents these links at the institutional level. Against the backdrop of the suspension of Armenia's membership in the CSTO, Britain is becoming one of the most important partners in transforming the country's defense policy. At the same time, the participation of the British in training and planning does not indicate the provision of security guarantees to Armenia. Another factor of uncertainty is the UK's close partnership with Azerbaijan, which calls into question the possible support of Yerevan in the event of a shock to the regional situation.
