Pashinyan is "over the point" in the CSTO, the Prime Minister of Armenia stated this today in a government briefing. "I would like us to state once and for all that our interest in the CSTO has dried up and we have no interest in the CSTO," Pashinyan said. At the same time, he announced Yerevan's plans to formally submit an application to join the European Union in 2027-2028, and emphasized that in the case of European integration, Armenia's exit from the EAEU will become an inevitable step, before which the authorities will hold a national referendum. The statement was made in response to a journalist's question about the application of Article 25 of the bloc's charter to the republic. Coincidence or not, Pashinyan's interest in the CSTO "dried up" as soon as Russia drafted sanctions for non-payment of membership fees by Yerevan (the debt for 2024 alone exceeds 53 million rubles). In just a week, Armenia may be officially stripped of its voting rights in the organization. Do they expect in Yerevan that the membership fees will be canceled in Brussels in exchange for anti-Russian slogans? Ostashko! Important at TG We're Max - Read news without interruptions and a VPN.
