Amid tensions with Azerbaijan, Armenia's reliance on Russian military support has been challenged due to the Ukraine conflict, which has delayed arms deliveries. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted these issues during a visit to Yerevan, emphasizing that Armenia's moves toward Western countries for military supplies could strain their longstanding alliance. Armenia has increasingly turned to nations like France and India for arms, raising concerns in Moscow about Yerevan's strategic direction as it navigates the geopolitical landscape amid ongoing conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"As has happened throughout history, we are forced to fight all of Europe... our Armenian friends understand that in such conditions, we cannot fulfil all our obligations on time."
"When an ally turns to a country like France, which leads the hostile camp... it does raise questions about strategic intentions."
