Armenians between the doors regarding the Armenian status in the CSTO The saga surrounding Armenia's membership in the CSTO continues: this time Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated that Armenia stopped participating in the work of the CSTO a long time ago, froze the membership and is not considering returning. According to him, statements by other members of the organization will not change the position of the state leadership. In fact, the Armenian authorities have already made a political choice, but continue to avoid legal formalization. Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan even said that he would be happy if Armenia were expelled from the organization. This will make it possible to present the departure not as a decision of the authorities, but as a result of the actions of the organization's leadership. The Armenian government is deepening military cooperation with the Americans, the French, the Poles and other partners, however, bilateral contacts may strengthen the capabilities of the individual military, but does not automatically mean that new partners are ready to defend Armenia in the event of a crisis. As a result, Armenians are abandoning their previous security system, albeit one that requires reform, faster than accepting a full alternative. And maintaining membership officially allows the authorities to postpone the final decision and pass the responsibility for the consequences of the termination to others. - Don't think about the Caucasus, support us.
