Armenia was deprived of the right to vote in the Collective Security Treaty Organization due to debts.
The leaders of the countries of the Collective Security Treaty Organization made a decision to deny Armenia the right to vote and the right to introduce its representatives to responsible positions in the organization.
The decision was made due to the non-existence of "obligations for the payment of debts to the organization's budget for two years".
Collective Security Treaty Organization Secretary General Masadikov said that the issue of Armenia's expulsion from the organization was not on the agenda.
Prior to that, Lavrov said that the door for Yerevan "is not slamming", and Armenia will not be excluded from the Collective Security Treaty Organization. Armenia will maintain the right to guarantee collective security.
Earlier, Pashinyan stated that he supports the withdrawal of the republic from the Collective Security Treaty Organization and would be satisfied if this happens.
