Lawmaker of Armenia`s NA blamed the Russian Federation for the  improper fulfillment of its allied obligations

ArmInfo.Arman Babajanyan, an independent lawmaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, believes that the response of the CSTO and the Russian Federation to Armenia's call for help has already shown their inability to provide effective  assistance to Armenia, and therefore the Republic of Armenia should  direct its gaze towards the United States, France, Canada, India and  Iran, who at the highest level pledged their readiness to help  resolve the problem with Azerbaijan.

Babajanyan stated this on May 25 during the 6th sitting of the parliament of the 7th convocation.

The MP recalled that in addition to the fact that Armenia officially  began consultations with the CSTO in connection with the crossing of  the state border of the Republic of Armenia by Azerbaijani troops in  some parts of the Syunik and Gegharkunik regions, the acting Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan also appealed to Russian President Vladimir  Putin on the issue of military assistance under the Treaty of  Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance between the Russian  Federation and the Republic of Armenia. At the same time, both the  CSTO and the Russian Federation, according to him, limited themselves  to only assurances of their readiness to provide assistance in the  issue of delimitation and demarcation of borders with Azerbaijan,  which was not the subject of the Treaty with the Russian Federation  on mutual assistance and the appeal of the Armenian side. Thus,  according to Babajanyan, Armenia's allies are inappropriately  fulfilling their allied obligations. In this regard, he called for an  appropriate assessment of the statements of the top leadership of the  United States, Canada, France, India and Iran about their readiness  to help.

Speaker of the parliament Ararat Mirzoyan, in turn, assured that  parliamentary diplomacy is very active.  So, during his recent  meeting with the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation  Vyacheslav Volodin, a fairly sincere and constructive discussion took  place. "I don't think that Armenia's allies do not fulfill or will  not fulfill their allied obligations. For example, the CSTO still has  mechanisms, talks are also ongoing with the Russian Federation. So I  think we need to remain optimistic," he said, stressing that "such  difficult issues are not always resolved with lightning speed. "
