“The systems of external security in which Armenia is involved are ineffective when it comes to the protection of our security and Armenia’s national interests,” Pashinyan said. His address aired just days after Azerbaijan claimed full control over Nagorno-Karabakh in a lightning offensive that forced the ethnic Armenian separatist territory to sue for peace.
Russia has time and time again shown to be an unreliable partner. Any country still depending on them should think hard about still trusting them.
Not to mention, even if Russia was fully trustworthy, they did help Armenia before, what Armenia needs from it is military power and power projection. And with pathethic how Russia’s military looks right now this is not a given. They are too distracted and don’t seem to have ressources to fight their own war, let alone help Armenia. So, there is really no value in them for Armenia’s purposes.
