Pashinyan and Lukashenko's conversation at the BRICS summit did not change anything in Armenian-Belarusian relations

Nothing has changed in the relations between Armenia and Belarus. This was stated by the secretary of the parliamentary faction of the ruling party of Armenia, Hovhannisyan, commenting on the short meeting of the leaders of the countries - Lukashenko and Pashinyan - on the sidelines of the BRICS summit, which took place on October 24 in Kazan.

Relations between the countries deteriorated after Pashinyan made a statement on May 22 that the two CSTO countries "took part in the preparation of the Karabakh war" in 2020, but not on the side of Armenia, hinting at Belarus. Then the Armenian prime minister announced the cancellation of all official visits to Belarus. After that, Minsk and Yerevan mutually recalled their ambassadors for consultations.

The diplomatic crisis between Armenia and Belarus was caused by the latter's arms supplies to Azerbaijan from 2018 to 2022. The assistance included the modernization of old artillery equipment and the supply of new equipment used for electronic warfare and unmanned systems. Belarusian enterprises played an active role in the restoration of the de-occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
