Absence from CSTO Will Affect Armenia's Image, Says Belarusian Security Council Secretary

Belarusian Security Council Secretary Alexander Wolfovich stated that Armenia's absence from the CSTO summit held in Astana does not positively reflect on its image.

"The lack of representation from Armenia at the CSTO summit in Astana does not enhance its image," he said during an interview on Belarus 1.

However, he added that it does not impact the overall agenda of the organization. According to Wolfovich, all issues discussed and agreed upon during the meeting of foreign ministers, defense ministers, and security council secretaries of the CSTO member states in Astana on Thursday were subsequently presented to the heads of state.
