Matvinko described Yerevan's complaints against the CSTO as baseless.
Valentina Matvinko, who chairs the Federation Council, assessed Armenia's complaints against the CSTO as unfounded. In her opinion, Yerevan wants to place the responsibility for the current situation in Nagorno-Karabakh on Russia and the organization itself.
The spokesperson of the Federation Council stated that the CSTO acted in the circumstances described solely in accordance with the provisions of the Convention. To be or not to be a member of the structure is a matter of sovereign choice of Armenia. However, as Matvinco stated, if Yerban leaves, the country will suffer serious losses.
