Belarus has been accused of betraying Armenia by supplying advanced weapons to Azerbaijan between 2018 and 2022. This information, revealed through leaked documents, has caused significant tension between the two nations, which are both members of the Russian-led CSTO. In response, Armenia has issued a note of protest to Belarus and announced its withdrawal from the CSTO. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko are at the center of this row. Armenian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Ani Badalyan explained that the protest was in response to comments made by Belarusian Foreign Ministry spokesman Anatoly Glaz. Additionally, Armenia has signed a contract with France for the purchase of CAESAR self-propelled howitzers, as it seeks to strengthen its military ties with the West and move away from its traditional ally, Russia. The deal was confirmed by French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu and Armenian Defense Minister Suren Papikyan.
