Armenia refused to participate in military exercises as part of the pro-Russian bloc

The CSTO exercises "Indestructible Brotherhood - 2024" have started in Kazakhstan. They will involve peacekeepers from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan. CSTO member Armenia refused to cooperate.

2,000 military personnel will demonstrate their forces at the exercises. 500 units of armored and automotive vehicles, Mi-17 and Mi-35 helicopters, Il-76 and Si-295 aircraft, and unmanned aircraft will be involved.

Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that the CSTO "created threats to the country's sovereignty." According to him, Yerevan froze its participation in the CSTO and the next step will be to leave the organization. Recently, within the framework of the UN General Assembly, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan boycotted the meeting of the CSTO foreign ministers.
