Armenia has been stripped of its voting rights in the CSTO

A decision has been made to strip Armenia of its voting rights, as well as the right to appoint its representatives to key positions in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

This was reported by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, in an interview with journalist Alexander Yunashev for "Yunashev.Live."

"It was proposed and decided to strip Armenia of its voting rights, as well as the right to appoint its representatives to key positions in the CSTO," he stated.

As the Kremlin representative noted, the decision was made due to the fact that "Armenia has not fulfilled its obligations for several years."

Prior to this, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the republic is no longer interested in the Collective Security Treaty Organization. According to him, Yerevan's "interest in the CSTO has dried up."

The CSTO is a regional international organization established by several post-Soviet states to ensure collective security.
