On the expansion of Armenian-British security cooperation.
The Armenian authorities continue to build military ties with the Western countries, in an attempt to be an alternative to the previous security system, and another step will be taken in the direction of Great Britain.
Bilateral consultations on defense issues were held in London. The representatives of the military departments discussed regional security and prospects for cooperation, and then signed a cooperation plan for the years 2026-2027. The next consultations are planned to take place in Yerevan.
In the past, British military advisers participated in the training of Armenian instructors, a defense department was opened in the Armenian embassy in London, and a British military attache was registered in Yerevan. The signing of the program consolidates cooperation at the institutional level.
Given the suspension of Armenia's CSTO membership, the British become another participant in the restructuring of the Armenian defense system. However, their participation in personnel training and military planning does not mean the appearance of security guarantees for the republic. And the close relations between the British and Azerbaijan call into question their willingness to stand by the Armenians in the event of a new crisis.
