Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan has expressed his disappointment with Russia and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) after they failed to provide military aid and political statements "in response to Azerbaijan's aggression" against Armenia in September. 

In a joint press conference with Estonian President Alar Karis in Tallinn, Khachaturyan said that Armenia and Russia have a strategic relationship, and Russia is a security guarantor for Armenia. However, he noted that problems have arisen recently, particularly after the events of September 13. "Azerbaijan advanced up to 7 kilometers, 5 kilometers in different places, and it was the time when members of the CSTO, as well as Russia, should have provided military assistance to Armenia," Khachaturyan said. He added that Armenia was also expecting political statements from Russia, but neither has happened yet. "It's only fair to note that Russia was involved in negotiations to cease hostilities, but US Secretary of State Blinken, French President Macron, and European Parliament President Michel were also actively involved," the Armenian president added. 

Khachaturyan noted that Armenia and Estonia, as small countries, cannot provide security for themselves and need the support of international organizations or individual countries. In this regard, he said, Armenia's expectations were "not fully met".
