The Armenian parliament is not currently considering the issue of the republic's withdrawal from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), said in an interview with Izvestia Jahem Manukian, a member of the Standing Committee on Defense and Security of Armenia.
According to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Penkin, Yerevan is once again making attempts to transfer the responsibility for the decisions it makes to the CSTO member states. The deputy minister noted that despite the suspension of Armenia's participation in the CSTO and non-payment of contributions, the country still remains a full member of the organization.
