This is the best summary I could come up with:
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan called his country’s security agreements with Russia “ineffective” on Sunday, signaling a potential shift away from Moscow after it refused to intervene in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Russia had acted as guarantor for a peace deal that ended a 44-day war with Azerbaijan over the disputed territory three years ago, with peacekeepers deployed around the region.
Armenia is a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a Russia-dominated alliance of post-Soviet states that pledge to protect each other in the event of an attack.
The Kremlin has in recent days blamed Pashinyan for his handling of the crisis and said it would not intervene because Armenia itself recognizes the disputed region as part of Azerbaijan.
Pashinyan also said that Armenia should join the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a tribunal which has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin in March over his actions in Ukraine.
On Sunday afternoon, the first group of refugees fleeing Azerbaijan’s offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh arrived in the Armenian border town of Kornidzor.
