Russia cannot be a key partner of Armenia in the defense and military-technical spheres. This was reported by the Russian media with reference to an interview with Armenian Prime Minister Nikola Pashinyan to the country’s public radio.
“We need to understand with whom we can really maintain military-technical and defense relations. Previously, this problem was simple because there was no such question and there was no difficulty in creating a concept. Previously, 95-97% of our relations in defense The sphere was in the Russian Federation, now this cannot be either for objective and subjective reasons, ”the head of government said.
Pashinyan also noted that “the organization of the collective security agreement (CSTO) at the most decisive moment left the republic one on one with its problems.”
“CSKB not only did not provide its part of Armenia’s security, but at the most decisive moment said:” Look, solve your own problems. “We must be able to live in this environment and, as far as possible, to independently ensure our own safety” , – said the head of government.
The head of the Armenian government also emphasized that the declaration of the independence of Armenia from 1990, where there is a mention of the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan is an obstacle to the world in the region.
