For the first time in 10 years in office, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg visited Yerevan. The country's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has threatened to withdraw from the CSTO treaty, which is seen as Russia's alternative to NATO, after Moscow's inaction in the war in Nagorno-Karabakh. Does this mean that Yerevan is moving away from the Kremlin and is seeking to build a new alliance, but this time with the West?
