The Collective Security Treaty Organization is a military alliance of which Armenia is a part, along with Russia. Russia has long maintained a military presence in Armenia. We now have the peacekeeping mission in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of the 2020 ceasefire.
In response to the latest outbreak of fighting, Armenia requested support from the Collective Security Treaty Organization, and they have sent out a mission looking into the situation. This is certainly an indication of Russia's continued efforts to play a leading role throughout the region. However, we've seen that Armenia has in recent years taken very significant steps to reform, to promote democracy and to develop its own policies, which we are seeing in important areas, including Armenia's consistent refusal to endorse several of Russia's positions with regard to Ukraine.
