The Decision of Armenia's Military-Political Leadership: CSTO Secretary General

All obligations of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) towards Armenia are maintained. This was stated by the organization’s Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov during a video bridge held with the Sputnik Armenia multimedia platform.

He noted that the recently formed format of relations between Armenia and the organization is primarily a decision of Armenia's military-political leadership. According to the Secretary General, Armenia's non-participation in discussions does not affect the organization's effectiveness.

“Nevertheless, we proceed from the fact that Armenia is our ally. And all our obligations towards Armenia remain in effect. It can return to the organization’s broad participation at any time; there are no objections,” said Tasmagambetov.

Recall that earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated in an interview with France24 that the Collective Security Treaty has not been implemented regarding Armenia and that Yerevan has frozen its participation in the CSTO.
