Armenia PM questions Russian base's security role, signals possible renegotiation

Armenian PM Pashinyan stated that the Russian 102nd military base in Gyumri is not vital to Armenia's security, citing the September 2022 events, and expressed readiness to discuss the terms of its presence. This marks a notable shift in Armenia's stance toward Russia, potentially signaling a renegotiation of the base agreement. The move could further strain Armenia-Russia relations and affect regional security dynamics in the South Caucasus.
