Yerevan, July 16 (Xinhua) — Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan believes that the country's withdrawal from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is likely. The head of the Armenian government said this at a press conference on Wednesday.
“Armenia’s withdrawal from the CSTO is more likely than freezing its membership in this organization,” N. Pashinyan said.
Answering another question on the same topic, he confirmed that the problem in relations with the CSTO arose in the fall of 2022, when Armenia, during another escalation of the situation on the border with Azerbaijan, turned to its partners in this bloc for help, but did not receive support. Then, according to N. Pashinyan, the CSTO stated that the Armenian-Azerbaijani border was not defined and therefore the bloc could not provide support to Armenia.
Since February of last year, Armenia has practically not participated in events held under the auspices of the CSTO and does not pay membership fees to this organization. –0–
