Armenia was deprived of voting rights in the CSTO.
Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov told Life about it.
"The issue was raised and a decision was made. Due to the fact that Armenia has not fulfilled its obligations for several years, under the guidance of the organization's charter, it was proposed and decided to deprive Armenia of the right to vote, as well as the right to appoint its representatives to responsible positions in the CSTO, he noted.
At the beginning of 2024, Armenia announced the suspension of its membership in the organization - the country does not pay contributions to the CSTO and does not participate in its events.
The organization's charter does not establish a procedure for freezing membership in it.
Yerevan explained this step by not fulfilling the obligations of the organization - in particular, the lack of response to the escalation on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and the events around Nagorno-Karabakh.
