YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — The leader of Armenia on Wednesday declared his intention to pull out of a Russia-dominated security alliance of several ex-Soviet nations as tensions rise between the two allies.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said his government will decide later when to leave the Collective Security Treaty Organization, or CSTO, a grouping that includes Russia and the former Soviet Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
Amid the widening rift with Russia, Armenia earlier froze its participation in the alliance, canceled its involvement in joint military drills and snubbed CSTO summits.
Pashinyan said Wednesday for the first time that Armenia will leave CSTO altogether. He spoke during a question-and-answer session in parliament, saying that the government will decide later when to make the final move.

Armenian authorities accused Russian peacekeepers who were deployed to Nagorno-Karabakh after a previous round of hostilities in 2020 of failing to stop Azerbaijan’s onslaught. Moscow, which has a military base in Armenia, rejected the accusations, arguing that its troops didn’t have a mandate to intervene.
Speaking to lawmakers Wednesday, Pashinyan denounced the CSTO for its failure to offer protection to Armenia and alleged that some of its members sided with Azerbaijan.
“It turned out that its members failed to fulfill their obligations under the treaty and planned the war against us alongside Azerbaijan,” he said, without elaborating.
Russia has engaged in a delicate balancing act, trying to preserve close relations with Armenia while also maintaining warm ties with Azerbaijan and its main ally Turkey, a key economic partner for Moscow amid Western sanctions.
The Kremlin has been angered by Pashinyan’s......decision to join the International Criminal Court, which last year indicted Putin for alleged war crimes connected to Russian actions in Ukraine.

Sounds like the article is contradicting itself. Apparently not a done deal at this point.
Sooooo...how long before Russia invades Armenia?
Armenia was warned about sucking up the Neocons...what comes next is quite OBVIOUS.
Russia needs to trade with Turkey. Turkey refuses to sanction Russia. But they will do that if Russia helps Armenia in their war against Azerbaijan.
“We will leave,” Pashinyan said. “We will decide when to leave. We won’t come back, there is no other way.”
Russia has important military bases in Armenia based on agreements renewed in 2010, with options to extend through 2060. These bases are critical to threaten/oppose NATO/Turkish forces on Armenia’s border, and prevent a NATO land bridge to Georgia, Azerbaijan and the Caspian.
They will most likely, agitate and arm “separatists” who will ask Russia to help them. Since the old frozen conflict with Azerbaijan was ended, Russia will start a new one. This time it will be wholly inside contiguous Armenia, with the focus of taking territory from Armenia.
One does not simply leave the Russian orbit. Ask Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova...
$hit. Who’s the bad guy here? I know what the Ottomans did. They need Vlad’s protection?
Russia had promised to defend its ally Armenia if invaded by Azerbaijan. They were invaded and the cowardly Russians didn’t fulfill their obligations. You’re blaming this on NeoCons? Lmao.
Russia will do this with which army exactly?

“Russia had promised to defend its ally Armenia if invaded by Azerbaijan. They were invaded.”
You’re clueless as to recent events in Armenia. Best if you stay in your lane.
Thank you for the background information. I wonder if Putin can handle two wars at the same time.
I don’t know why but something is changing in that area.
Well, you can’t fix stupid, and the Armenian leader seems to have cornered the market on that.
“Well, you can’t fix stupid, and the Armenian leader seems to have cornered the market on that.”
Suicidal, I guess. At least in Georgia, the leaders there finally seem to understand what the Neocons are trying to do to them also.
The dirty dozen zeeper monsters of FR! Ukrainian propaganda is their profession.

Can you point to any evidence that there’s a neocon anywhere in sight in Armenia? It’s essentially Russian-occupied territory.

Plenty of NGOs operating there, just like Georgia.
Name a couple for us.
