Kyiv • UNN
The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament stated that although the withdrawal from the CSTO was discussed in the society, Armenia did not make a decision about it and did not take legal actions to suspend its membership in the defense union.
Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan said that Yerevan has not made a decision to withdraw from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO); the issue of withdrawal of Russia's 102nd military base from the republic has not been raised yet. This was reported by the analytical agency Armenian News, reports UNN.
There was no talk about changing any vector or anything like that. We are discussing what to do to reduce the dangers that may threaten Armenia. There is no decision on leaving the CSTO, but we may not rule it out. Our society is also talking about it, we can say that it makes such a demand
Addendum
That Armenia has not taken legal actions to suspend its membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) was reported by Kazakhstan's Deputy Foreign Minister Roman Vasilenko.
This is Armenia's de facto statement on the suspension of its participation in the CSTO. As far as I know, Armenia has not taken any legal action to suspend its membership in the CSTO. That is, de jure Armenia is not suspending its membership in the CSTO
Recall
The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament stated that Armenia asked the CSTO one question about its zone of responsibility, which remained unansweredand therefore he believes that the CSTO has frozen relations with Armenia and is not functioning.
