 Armenia has disagreements with Russia. Armenia has disagreements with Russia on several issues, including the activities of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, CSTO, and Political Assessments. Armenian Foreign Minister, Ararat Mirzayan said, at a joint press conference with his Croatian counterpart, Gordon Gerlick Radman, he noted that calling it a crisis would be an exaggeration. There is no crisis in relations between Yerevan and Moscow. There are friendly relations between Armenia and Russia. There are many bilateral multilateral agreements. But last month, Armenia has refused to host military drills by the Collective Security Treaty Organization, a Russian-led alliance of post-Soviet countries, in an announcement that reflects Yerevan's growing tensions with Moscow. Russia had announced earlier this year that Armenia would host the annual exercises of the group, which comprises six states. Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The Armenian Defense Minister has informed the CSTO joint staff that in the current situation we consider it unreasonable to hold CSTO exercises on the territory of Armenia. At least such exercises will not take place in Armenia this year, said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Russian political scientist Alexei Numov noted, currently, Yerevan refuses Moscow's mediation in regulating its relations with Baku, Armenian leaders, and, first of all, Nikol Pashinyan, make insulting attacks against Russian diplomacy, peacekeepers and the Kremlin in general. Therefore, Russia is starting to reconsider relations with Armenia. In the alliance with Yerevan, Russia sees only insults. Armenia is constantly looking for new allies, mediators, and trade easily with the interests of Russia.
