Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan recently confirmed that his country would pull out of the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), amid a widening rift with Moscow.
The CSTO is an alliance of former Soviet states that have pledged to protect one another in the event of an attack.
But Pashinyan says he wants the thousands of Russian soldiers stationed in the country to leave and that Armenia is determined to leave the alliance.
He accused its members of siding with Azerbaijan which launched a military campaign in September to seize control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, ending decades of ethnic Armenian separatist rule.

    Armenia has just ordered 36 Caesar artillery systems from France. This is in addition to the 3 Thales Ground Master 200 Radars, 50 Bastion armored personnel carriers and Armenia is also in talks to buy Mistral short range missiles.

    Since when did Russian treaties meant something???

    Armenia knew that russia is slowly losing the war in Ukraine. That's why putin is working hard to seek help and support in other countries. 2 years already in a war and heavy sanctions are not easy to handle.
  • Russia's allies are starting to see that the alliance was only ever a one way partnership With Russia using them for its benefit and giving nothing of consequence in return
  • @alexc5569
    Well, welcome to the civilization. We realized Rusia is not to thrust a while ago.
  • @user-vk4lh2nj8k
    A right step to the right direction. Armenia should be free from Russian Imperialistic policy.
  • 3:00 "housed" just across the road. That building looks like it´s going to collapse any minute now.

    Russia no longer a super power rather a regional power ,even that will be decided only when the Ukraine war end .
