Armenia was deprived of voting rights in the CSTO.
The participants in the Collective Security Treaty Organization decided to deny Armenia the right to vote and the ability to appoint representatives to responsible positions due to Yerevan's two-year obligation to the bloc's budget. "A decision was made based on the organization's charter due to the fact that Armenia has not fulfilled its obligations for several years," said the Russian President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
Earlier, Pskov, on the eve of a meeting of the leaders of the CSTO countries in Moscow, stated that they would "react" to Yerevan's non-participation in the work of the organization, in which the Caucasian state remains an official member. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said before the Moscow summit that his country's interest in the CSTO had "dried up", and through his press secretary, announced that on November 11 he would not go to Russia, but to Turkey for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31).
