Armenia may withdraw from its alliance with Russia due to dissatisfaction with Turkey’s influence, says Levon Kocharyan, spokesperson for the “Armenia” faction of the National Assembly. He emphasizes Russia’s historical role in the South Caucasus and suggests that if Russia withdraws, Turkey may take its place. Kocharyan also states that many people in Armenia understand that the country is not directly involved in the conflict between Russia and the Republic of Artsakh. He warns that this withdrawal could lead to complex socio-economic problems for Armenia. Additionally, Kocharyan calls for a thorough examination of the economic cooperation between Armenia and Russia.

Recently, experts have been discussing the worsening relations between Armenia and Russia, with provocations and diplomatic statements causing tension and mutual accusations between the two countries.
