Russia reacts to Armenia's decision to skip CSTO meeting
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin noted that Russia expects Yerevan to understand that the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) provides every opportunity for cooperation on ensuring regional security, while commenting on Armenia’s non-participation in the meeting of the organization’s Council of Foreign Ministers in Almaty on June 21.
“We hope that our Armenian partners, and we remain allies, will nevertheless come to realize that the most effective method of ensuring regional security is cooperation between regional states, and the CSTO platform provides all opportunities for that,” Sputnik quoted Galuzin as saying on Thursday.
