Russia's share in the structure of arms and military equipment supplies to Armenia has fallen from the previous 96% to less than 10%. This was announced by the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan.
He emphasized that this happened by decision of the Russian Federation itself: “It was Russia that decided not to supply weapons and ammunition. By the way, they still have not fully delivered what was planned under the 2021-2022 contracts.”
The main suppliers of weapons for Armenia were France and India, as well as a number of European countries.
The Armenian parliament also noted that the country has frozen its participation in the pro-Russian CSTO, but there is no talk of leaving the organization yet. Also, there is no question yet about Armenia joining NATO.
On June 13, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that “the next logical step will be withdrawal from the CSTO” and the country’s authorities will decide exactly when to take this step. On February 23, he announced the freezing of Armenia’s participation in the organization. He cited Moscow’s failure to provide military assistance during the escalation of the conflict with Azerbaijan in 2020 and 2023 as the reason.
