Pashinyan says Armenia ‘freezes’ participation in CSTO

Armenia’s participation in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is currently “frozen”, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told France 24.

It should be noted that back in December, Pashinyan stated that Armenia was not planning to quit the CSTO.

According to Pashinyan, the Collective Security Treaty has not fulfilled its objectives as far as Armenia is concerned, especially in 2021 and 2022. 

“We could not let that happen without taking notice. We have ‘frozen’ our participation. We’ll see what happens next,” Pashinyan said.
