Pashinyan says CSTO poses threats to Armenia's security
The Moscow-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) threatens Armenia's security and sovereignty, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Wednesday.
“We’ve frozen our membership in the CSTO not only because the CSTO does not fulfill its commitments to ensure Armenia's security, but also because the CSTO poses threats to Armenia's security, its further existence, sovereignty and statehood,” Pashinyan said, addressing the Global Armenian Summit.
He noted that Armenia will resume full participation in the security bloc only when concrete answers are provided to the issues raised by Yerevan.
