Sergey Lavrov has hinted that CSTO members may consider measures against Armenia that could call its place in the military bloc into question, after more than two years of non-participation and unpaid contributions. He accused Yerevan of skipping CSTO events while expanding military cooperation with NATO countries and the... show more

Putin said that “the CSTO should not have fought for Yerevan in Karabakh, in which case there was no external aggression against Armenia” The Russian dictator added that “Armenia has not yet announced its withdrawal from the CSTO and supports all the documents of the organization's summit.” Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan did not attend the CSTO summit taking place today in the capital of Kazakhstan. This is not the first time Armenia has boycotted events of the military bloc.

Armenia has "effectively left" the CSTO, the country's National Assembly president, Alen Simonyan, said. "We have effectively left. As for the rest, leave it to our political expediency and negotiations," he said, commenting on the question of "why Yerevan, which does not participate in CSTO events, hasn't announced its withdrawal." Simonyan also said that leaving the alliance doesn't mean "being anti-Russian."

Pashinyan gave a sharp response to Putin, criticizing the CSTO as a useless organization “We are currently not participating in CSTO activities, for a simple reason. To this day, we are unable to explain to our people, our citizens, why the CSTO [in 2022] failed to fulfill its obligations,” the Armenian Prime Minister told Putin. The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is a military-political alliance between Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Armenia, built around a principle similar to NATO’s Article 5. In 2021 and 2022, during clashes on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, Yerevan officially requested CSTO assistance. However, none of the allies provided support. Moreover, Belarus, a military partner of Armenia within the alliance, officially supplied weapons to Azerbaijan. And Russia, in turn, continued to exploit and fuel this conflict for its own political interests for a long time.

🇷🇺🇦🇲 The Kremlin stated that Armenia may leave the CSTO if it is no longer interested in membership and threatened with “deep trade contradictions that will primarily harm Armenia.” “If Yerevan no longer needs membership in such an important organization for ensuring regional security due to its national interests, it is free to make the corresponding decision and leave this organization,” said Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov. Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan stated that the republic does not intend to return to full participation in the CSTO. According to him, Yerevan’s interest in the organization has been “exhausted.” The prime minister also said he would be glad if the CSTO itself excluded Armenia: this, in his words, would spare the country’s authorities the dilemma of whether to leave the organization or not. Peskov also stated that if Armenia decides to leave the EAEU and join the EU, it will face “deep trade contradictions that will primarily harm Armenia.”

Pashinyan: "Armenia considers itself to be out of the CSTO. We have already passed the point of no return." Congrats to everyone who tirelessly worked for years to make Armenia isolated, defenseless, and without allies. No doubt that in a few years, when Turkish flags fly high in Yerevan, many of those same people will leave Armenia for their comfortable countries in the West. And they'll be claiming that at least Armenia is free from "Russian vassalage and tyranny." I hope those paychecks were worth sacrificing an entire country and three million people.

🚨⚠️Lavrov Challenges NATO’s Article 5 Over Britain’s Actions Against Russia Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov questions NATO’s role in the Ukraine conflict and raises the issue of Article 5 of the Washington Treaty. Responding to reports about Britain’s support for Ukraine and its involvement in strikes against Russia, Lavrov warns that Moscow will take Britain’s actions into account and says Russia has the right to regard direct British military involvement as participation in the war. Lavrov also questions whether NATO members are acting collectively while presenting their involvement as national actions, asking whether Article 5 is being interpreted as collective defense or “collective attack.”

Armenian PM Pashinyan: "For two centuries, Armenian-Russian relations have been built on the foundation and understanding that Russia is the guarantor of the security of the Armenian people and the Armenian state. I have never questioned Russia’s commitment to fulfilling this role, but the developments of 2021, 2022 and 2023 showed that, due to its own security challenges, the Russian Federation can at times face significant limitations in its ability to perform this role. We saw this in September 2022, and we saw it again in September 2023. And this is where we once again came face to face with the fact that we have failed to learn the lessons of our history." He said Armenia will apply to join the EU and would not object to being expelled from CSTO.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan showed up to meet Putin on what might as well have been the perfect April Fools’ joke. In a conversation he pointedly noted that Armenia has stepped back from CSTO work after the bloc failed to deliver on its security promises. He then doubled down by highlighting that Armenian elections are free, but anyone holding another country’s passport is barred from running which, naturally, would rule out the usual Kremlin-friendly crowd. To top it off, he underlined that Armenia has no political prisoners and that the internet and social platforms remain open and unrestricted.

Russian FM Sergey Lavrov says Moscow doesn’t oppose Ukrainian EU membership because it believes Ukraine’s accession could help destroy the bloc from within. “From the point of view of the European Union’s internal problems, it would actually be no bad thing if Ukraine joined,” Lavrov said, claiming that the EU would “simply fall apart” because of its “many contradictory tendencies.” “If they want to destroy their own multilateral economic structure and turn themselves into a military bloc, that is an invitation to very serious trouble for them,” he added. “And if they simply want to forget about the economy, then let them invite Zelensky in.”

‼️🇷🇺 Russia has always known that the US, UK, NATO planned a larger war against Russia. Ukraine was just the West's opening salvo. NATO from its inception is an anti-Russia military organization. Russia's FM Sergey Lavrov: "Europe does not hide its preparations for a new big war. For example, in July, France and Britain agreed to coordinate nuclear forces and created a "kind of Entente" to develop missile systems. At the same time, London and Berlin signed an agreement on military cooperation, and the other day they started talking about giving it a nuclear dimension." NATO's plans to intensify NATO in the Arctic are also cause for concern, and the alliance is also seeking to "stake out" a place for itself in the Pacific Ocean, its goal is deterrence China and the isolation of Russia: « "We have repeatedly said that we did not and do not have intentions to attack any of the current members of NATO and the European Union. We are ready to enshrine this position in future security guarantees for this part of Eurasia, but EU leaders are moving away from considering these future guarantees on a truly collective basis."

Putin addresses Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan’s complaint that the Moscow-led CSTO military alliance failed to support Armenia during Azerbaijan’s retaking of Karabakh: "Now, on security, that’s obviously the most sensitive issue right now. We understand that. We talk about it a lot, especially when it comes to Karabakh. We know you and your colleagues have had, and still have, questions and complaints about the CSTO. We keep coming back to it. "But after Prague in 2022, when you recognised Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan, any CSTO involvement would have meant stepping into what had effectively become an internal Azerbaijani issue. That just wouldn’t have been appropriate. "As for Karabakh being reintegrated into Azerbaijan, I’m not judging whether that’s good or bad. But from the point of view of restoring normal life, that was probably part of the thinking. "And now, thanks to your efforts and those of the Azerbaijani president, it looks like things are starting to stabilise. The US president was also involved. You can see some movement, transport links reopening, things slowly getting back on track. "The key now is to keep building on that and find ways to strengthen relations further. Maybe it would be better if we didn’t have to draw lines under these issues, but that’s part of politics, especially during election campaigns. "And finally, we have a lot of friends in Armenia. A lot. We know that."

🇦🇲🇷🇺🇦🇿“I recognized Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan after you had recognized it twice,” Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol #Pashinyan said to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the #Kremlin. The Armenian prime minister has voiced this idea multiple times in recent years, but this is the first time he has stated it directly to #Putin during the public part of a meeting. The point is that Russia acted as a guarantor/mediator/party in the November 9, 2020 trilateral statement. Moreover, Russia was an ally of #Armenia. Seven days after the signing of the statement and the freezing of the war, Putin made a statement recognizing #NagornoKarabakh as part of Azerbaijan. A few weeks later, he made a similar statement again. Taking into account #Russia’s status in the context of the conflict and its allied relations with Armenia, it became clear in Yerevan that Armenia had been left alone on the issue of #Artsakh. This, along with subsequent incursions by Azerbaijan into Armenia (and the lack of response from the #CSTO), forced Armenia to agree to the Prague Agreement of October 6, 2022. Under this agreement, Armenia effectively recognized Nagorno-Karabakh as part of #Azerbaijan. #SouthCaucasus #MiddleEast

Lavrov at the UN security council said that Ukraine is not hiding its position to exterminate Russians and that the West is supporting it. He said added that "all these years, the EU and NATO directly supported the sabotage of the Minsk agreements, pushing the Ukrainian regime to forcefully resolve the Donbas problem, done in violation of the UN Charter." He furthermore emphasized that the risks of global conflict are growing due to non-compliance with the UN Charter but Russia is not giving up negotiations on Ukraine.

Lavrov threatens Europe and Keith Kellogg over the project of a new European defence union with Ukraine. He said: “He [Kellogg] is now actively promoting the idea that a new military alliance should be created, and that Ukraine should not be brought into NATO, because, as they say, this has already been rejected both by President Trump and other members of his administration. And Kellogg, being also not a stranger in Washington, together with the European ‘grandees’, as they are called, is promoting the idea of creating a new military bloc with Ukraine as a member, and even not just a member, but as its leading participant […]” - Lavrov said. Lavrov is threatening Europe over militarisation and trying to drive a wedge between the White House and Europe. Moscow is very concerned by the fact that Ukraine is indeed being considered as a potential member of a European defense union. This was stated by Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius. Andrius Kubilius said that the European Commission is discussing an intergovernmental treaty to form a defence union and prepare the EU for independent defence, against the backdrop of the United States increasingly focusing on the Indo-Pacific region. The treaty is intended to strengthen the European Union’s role in defending Europe, while avoiding the recurring debate that defence is not an EU competence, but rather belongs to individual member states. The Commissioner also called for the creation of a new “real European defence union” involving the United Kingdom, Norway, and Ukraine. For this purpose, he suggested concluding a separate intergovernmental defence treaty, which could be modelled on the Schengen Agreement. The initiative to create a defence union involves not only legal formalisation, but also increased defence spending, expansion of production capacities, and stronger coordination between EU countries and close partners such as Ukraine, the UK, and Norway, which are expected to become members of the union. At the same time, defence policy would remain within the national competence of member states. 📹 CGTN

In his address to the people, the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan criticized #Russia for failing to fulfill its security obligations towards the Armenians of #NagornoKarabakh and Armenia. He also warned about the threats to #Armenia's independence and sovereignty, indirectly hinting at the destabilizing factor of Russia. "#Azerbaijan's attacks against Armenia in recent years lead to an obvious conclusion that the external #security systems in which we are involved aren't effective from the point of view of Armenia's state interests and security" said Pashinyan. He enumerated a number of events, such as the events of Khtsaberd, Parukh, and many other cases of intimidation of the people of #Artsakh, as well as the latest Azerbaijani attack, noting that all of these raise serious questions about the activities and motives of the Russian peacekeeping troops in Nagorno #Karabakh. Pashinyan also said that contrary to the tripartite statement of November 9, 2020, the #Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh are facing the danger of ethnic cleansing today. He mentioned that humanitarian goods have entered Artsakh, but this doesn't solve the existing crisis. "If real living conditions for Nagorno Karabakh Armenians in their homes and effective mechanisms of protection from ethnic cleansing are not created, the probability that Nagorno Karabakh Armenians will see the only way to save their lives and identity is to leave their homeland. The responsibility for such a development of events will fall entirely on Azerbaijan, which has adopted the policy of ethnic cleansing, and on the #Russian peacekeeping troops in Nagorno Karabakh" said Pashinyan. He added that his government is working with international partners on the formation of international mechanisms to ensure the rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh: "But if these efforts do not give concrete results, the government will welcome our sisters and brothers from Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia with all care" he said, noting, however, that the above-mentioned issues will become more serious with this. Nikol Pashinyan insisted that Armenia has never betrayed its allies, but the analysis of events shows that "those security systems and those allies that we have relied on for many years, have set the task of showing our vulnerabilities and justifying the impossibility of an independent state for the Armenian people." Moreover, according to him, such policy has nothing to do with the government established by the revolution in 2018, the manifestations of this policy were also before that. Without naming the states, Pashinyan said that some partners are making more and more efforts to show Armenia's vulnerability in the field of security, putting internal security and stability under attack. He accused those partners of not fulfilling all the norms of diplomatic, interstate relations, ethics, correctness, even the obligations assumed by the contracts. "We call and urge our partners to respect our state and sovereignty. We express our determined will to strengthen our statehood, sovereignty, democracy, external and internal security. We call on the international community to express unwavering support for Armenia's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and democracy" urged Pashinyan. He considered it necessary to strengthen, transform, and supplement Armenia's external and internal security tools, cooperating with all partners ready for mutually beneficial steps. The prime minister also spoke about the Rome Statute, saying that the decision to ratify it was made in December 2022, when it became clear that the #CSTO and the Armenian-Russian strategic partnership tools are not enough to ensure Armenia's external security. Pashinyan once again repeated that this decision is not directed against Russia. "The deep meaning of the events happening to us in recent years and today is exactly this: will Armenia be a sovereign, free, democratic state, or will it be a fearful periphery" he said. The Prime Minister insisted that we should go after the movement for the defense of Armenia's #independence, knowing that it will not be easy, but "it will happen".

🤥 “We don’t attack NATO”: Lavrov plays the same old record Russia’s foreign minister held a press conference following his visit to New York with the usual set of mantras. He claimed that Russia “has no intention and never had any intention of attacking NATO or the EU,” while accusing the alliance of “trying to encircle all of Eurasia militarily.” Of course, the lies followed: Lavrov insisted that “Russia never attacks civilian targets and never sends drones toward NATO or EU states.” In the end, it was the same broken record the Kremlin has been spinning for years. He could have spared the snorting this time.

Russia has no intention to attack NATO or EU member countries and is ready to enshrine its position "in future security guarantees," from which the EU is shying away, Lavrov said. During his speech at the Minsk Conference on Eurasian Security, he also said that "NATO expansion continues unabated," adding that the West is preparing for a "new big European war." No comment.
