Russia Lodges Strong Protest Against Armenia for a Series of ‘Unfriendly’ Actions
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Russia has expressed its strong dissatisfaction with Armenia, summoning the Armenian ambassador to deliver a stern protest regarding what it has labeled a series of “unfriendly steps.” This diplomatic confrontation highlights the growing tension between Moscow and the small ex-Soviet nation, which Russia regards as its sphere of influence.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, in an official statement, enumerated the actions that have strained relations. These include Armenia’s decisions to join the International Criminal Court, host military exercises with the United States, and the visit of the Armenian prime minister’s wife to Ukraine for humanitarian aid delivery. The ministry also raised concerns about “offensive statements” attributed to Alen Simonyan, the chair of the Armenian National Assembly, concerning Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Armenia, which hosts a Russian military base and largely depends on Russia for its defense supplies, has been vocal in its grievances. They have criticized Russian peacekeepers for failing to alleviate an Azerbaijani blockade affecting Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnic Armenian region within Azerbaijan. Additionally, Armenia has publicly questioned its continued participation in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a military alliance led by Russia that includes six former Soviet republics.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, in a recent interview, expressed regret over Armenia’s reliance on Russia for security, calling it a strategic misstep. He argued that Moscow’s engagement in the Ukraine conflict had diverted its attention, leading to a reduced role in the South Caucasus region.

In response, Moscow reaffirmed its commitment to being the primary guarantor of security in the Caucasus, which encompasses Azerbaijan and Georgia alongside Armenia.

Tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan escalated as both nations accused each other of deploying troops near their shared border, further complicating the future of the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave.

Amid these developments, a foreign policy adviser to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signaled a willingness to allow Red Cross aid from Armenia into Nagorno-Karabakh, provided that Red Crescent aid from Azerbaijan received equal access.

It’s worth noting that the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin in March, accusing him of war crimes in Ukraine. However, Russia has consistently rejected the notion of its actions in Ukraine constituting war crimes and does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC.
