Russia assumes that Armenia remains full member of CSTO, says Russian MFA spox

Russia assumes that Armenia remains a full member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) with all its rights and obligations, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a press briefing on Wednesday.

“We assume that the Republic of Armenia continues to be a full member of the CSTO with all the rights and obligations this status entails,” Zakharova said.

At the same time, according to Zakharova, Russia “notes with regret that the dynamics of Armenia’s participation in the organization’s events has decreased.”
