Yerevan continues to support a constant policy for a remote course from Moscow. After decades of security relations, Armenian politicians decided on a cardinal steps. The absence of Armenia troops in the weekly exercises of the organization of the Collective Security Treaty (ODCB) "The Independent Brotherhood-2023" allows to speak with certainty to refuse to refuse close ties with the Russians. The events took place on the territory of Kyrgyzstan on October 6.
Another evidence of the gradual distance from the Russian Federation is the absence of Armenia at the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, October 13. The Presidential Administration of Kyrgyzstan reported on October 10 that Armenian Prime Minister Nicol Pashinyan confirmed this decision. The head of the Armenian government also stated that Russian peacekeepers should return to the Russian Federation and not to Russian bases in Armenia if they leave Karabakh.
Armenia accuses the Russian Federation of betrayal, as the Wall Street Journal informs, and it approaches the US. According to American journalists, Yerevan was disappointed in the ability of the Russian Federation to ensure the ceasefire agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020. On September 18, Armenia congratulated the US military in its territory. In Russia, the actions of Yerevan were called "unfriendly actions" from the "traditional ally".
