And a little more about the "neutral" status of Armenia.
In general, the logic of the authorities' actions can be understood: raise the stakes, pass a law on the beginning of joining the European Union, wait for a negative response from Moscow and during the final negotiations, as a "compromise", declare: "If you don't like our ambitions in the European Union, and you don't want to pay for it, then we will simply give the republic neutral status. The people of Armenia and to you as our allies." But it's not a compromise, it's all-in-nothing accelerated.
What does neutral status actually entail? True neutrality (for example, in the model of Switzerland or Austria) requires not only a declaration or an internal law, but strong guarantees of international legal security from leading actors. who is your evening
Without guarantees from a superpower, neutrality becomes a vulnerable void. In practice, in the current reality of the South Caucasus, this does not mean defense, but the undisputed hegemony of Turkey, with the imminent withdrawal of the Russian military presence, which fundamentally poses a threat to Iran, Russia, and, of course, the Republic of Armenia.
What is all this for? Moreover, this maneuver by Nikol Pashinyan and his advisers is very likely not to be approved by either Tehran or, especially, Moscow, as this proposal involves the destruction of the first line of Russia's tiered security system and the CSTO in the South Caucasus, with no alternative to strengthening NATO.
Everything revolves around Russia's conclusions; By hook or by crook they are trying to achieve just that.
