Why do we need such a pseudo ally? ": Maxim Rizhankov referred to the decision to deprive Armenia of voting rights in the CSTO.
According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus, Yerevan uses the advantages of integration mainly for its own interests.
"I will choose from you what interests me: some prices for gas, oil, transportation of our goods to the final consumer, the rest does not concern us," Rizhenkov described the attitude of the Armenian side.
It also allowed Yerevan to restrict access to classified CSTO records.
"Why should we give such a pseudo-ally full access to a document that is quite closed and can be used not only in the interests of those countries that intend to continue to develop our integration union? ". said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A day earlier, at the CSTO summit in Moscow, Armenia was denied the right to vote and the opportunity to appoint representatives to responsible positions due to arrears in membership fees. At the same time, the issue of expelling the republic from the organization was not considered.
