(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 14. The Collective
Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) wants it or not, but is leaving
Armenia, and this concerns us, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol
Pashinyan said at a briefing, trend reports via Armenian media.
'In 2022, the CSTO Secretary General told me that there are
fears in the CSTO that Armenia will withdraw from the Organization.
I replied that these concerns are out of place, but other concerns
that exist in Armenia are there, and they relate to the fact that
the CSTO will withdraw from Armenia. And my assessment is that,
willing or unwilling, the CSTO is leaving Armenia, and this worries
us,' he said.
Meanwhile, in fact, Armenia has taken several steps and
initiated the withdrawal from this organization itself.
Thus, Yerevan refused to hold CSTO exercises scheduled for 2023.
As Pashinyan said at the time, in the current situation, the
Armenian authorities consider holding the exercises
'inappropriate'.
And more recently, Armenia gave up the quota of the CSTO Deputy
Secretary General.
'We have sent a corresponding proposal to the CSTO,' Spokesman
for Armenian Foreign Ministry Vahan Hunanyan said.
