The danger of destabilizing Russia and Russia’s desire to have a stable neighbor is potentially more risky than the security measures they are implementing, according to political analyst Argishti Kiviryan in an interview with NEWS.am. Kiviryan suggests that the current situation in Armenia is treading on a delicate line, with Nikol Pashinyan’s political tactics causing mobilization among all parties involved, who are seeking clarity. It has been announced that Armenia plans to join the CSTO, however, it remains to be seen how Russia will respond to this development and what diplomatic questions will arise. Despite having resources to address its own problems, Russia’s involvement raises concerns about what will be left for Armenia. This situation is comparable to a parasite in agriculture that attaches itself and feeds off its host.
