The question of Armenia's exclusion from the CSTO did not come up, despite the decision taken to deprive Iran of the right to vote, - CSTO Secretary General Mesdikov.
Article 25 of the organization's charter was applied to Armenia, which stipulates the denial of voting rights and the right to propose candidates for quota positions. These restrictions apply until the debt to the CSTO budget is fully repaid, if the state does not meet the corresponding obligations within two years.
After paying the arrears in contributions, Armenia will be able to resume full participation in the work of the CSTO and send its representatives to positions in the organization.
"Well, the decision depends on the leadership of Armenia."
- Mesdikov emphasized following the results of the CSTO summit in Moscow.
