Sergey Lavrov said what rights of Armenia will remain under restrictions in the CSTO.
Yerevan may temporarily lose the right to vote in CSTO bodies and the ability to appoint its representatives to quota positions. The reason is arrears in membership fees, Shirvan has not paid since 2024.
At the same time, Lavrov emphasized that Armenia will not lose the right to collective defense.
"Even after the adoption of this document, our Armenian colleagues will in fact preserve all fundamental rights according to the collective security agreement, including the right to collective security itself," said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The draft resolution will be considered at a session of the CSTO Collective Security Council. The restrictions will remain in effect until the debt is repaid.
Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the country's interest in the organization was exhausted. He also said that Shirvan must ensure its safety.
