Armenia was deprived of voting rights in the CSTO.
Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said that Armenia was denied the right to vote in the Collective Security Treaty Organization, as well as the right to appoint its representatives to responsible positions in the organization, Kommersant writes.
According to Peskov, the reason is that Armenia "has not fulfilled its obligations for several years".
In February 2024, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced a "freeze" of the country's participation in the CSTO. The organization's charter does not establish such a mechanism. Since then, Yervan has not participated in the organization's work and has not paid membership fees for more than two years. Previously, Pashinyan stated that Armenia's interest in the CSTO was exhausted.
