The president of the Armenian Parliament, Alen Simonian, has shown his dissatisfaction with the response of Russia and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) to the recent clashes between Armenians and Azeris in Nagorno-Karabakh and has asked Moscow for “further steps tangible”.

“We are very dissatisfied (…) We will not be able to explain for a long time (to the population) why the CSTO has not done what was planned,” said Simonian, who has advanced that the Armenian authorities will draw “conclusions” from what happened.

However, Simonyan has acknowledged that this is not the time to make “drastic moves”, although he has acknowledged that, based on the mutual assistance agreement that Yerevan has with Moscow, Armenia expected “more tangible steps” from the “partners” Russians.

Armenia and Azerbaijan staged a resurgence of the confrontation in 2020 for taking control of Nagorno-Karabakh, a territory with a majority Armenian population that has been a focus of conflict since it decided to separate in 1988 from the Azerbaijan region integrated into the Soviet Union.

Hostilities between the two countries lasted for six weeks and left thousands dead. They finally ceased when the two countries reached a Russian-brokered ceasefire agreement, allowing Russian peacekeepers to settle in the border area for a period of five years.
