Armenia has not undertaken legal actions to suspend its membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), stated Kazakhstan's Deputy Foreign Minister Roman Vasilenko. This was reported by Kaz TAG.

“We see Armenia’s de facto announcement regarding the suspension of its participation in the CSTO. As far as I know, Armenia has not initiated any legal action to suspend its membership. In other words, de jure, Armenia is not suspending its membership in the CSTO,” Vasilenko said.

The Deputy Minister added that the organization will continue to exist even after one of the countries leaves. He also mentioned that the CSTO plays an important role in Kazakhstan's security.
