Lukashenko comments on Armenia’s absence at CSTO meeting

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko commented on the absence of Armenia as he addressed a meeting of the CSTO Collective Security Council, BelTA reports.

“Today I have the honor to speak first since our Armenian colleagues are not attending the meeting. This, by the way, characterizes the current geopolitical situation in the region and, to some extent, our organization,” he said.

It should be noted that at CSTO meetings, leaders speak in alphabetical order. Thus, Armenia takes the floor first. Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan froze the country’s participation in the CSTO.
