Armenia should be excluded from the CSTO - Bordioza Armenia should be excluded from the Collective Security Treaty Organization, because it does not participate in its work, but at the same time all decisions should be coordinated with it, former CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordioza told RIA Novosti. “If they suspend participation but do not withdraw, they remain full members of the CSTO. If they are full members of the CSTO, then all decisions - and decisions in the CSTO are made by consensus - must be made taking their positions into account. And this position today, in fact, contradicts what is being done at the CSTO," Bordiosa explained. In his opinion, it would be fair for Yerevan to withdraw from the CSTO entirely, and if it does not, then to withdraw Armenia from the CSTO entirely. "I would rule them out. No commissions are paid, no participation is accepted. In all seriousness, they should just take it and leave if they are serious partners. But since they have an ambivalent position, that we won't go out and we won't work, and we don't participate, and we don't want to, they should be kept away," Bordiosa believes. Currently, the CSTO includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. In 2024, Armenia announced a "freeze" of its participation, although this was not stipulated in the organization's charter, and stopped paying membership fees.
