Armenia recalled that it froze its membership in the pro-Russian CSTO
Armenia has not changed its attitude towards the CSTO, despite the presence of the country's ambassador at the meeting of the Russian Foreign Minister with diplomats of the bloc's member countries in Moscow. This was stated by the Armenian Foreign Ministry.
"Armenia's position on freezing participation in the CSTO has not changed," the ministry noted.
Recall that in July, after 32 years of service, Russian border guards left the Yerevan Zvartnots airport. Earlier, the Armenian authorities announced the suspension of membership in the pro-Russian CSTO bloc, as well as the country's desire to become a candidate for joining the EU. In addition, Armenia held military exercises jointly with the United States and increased purchases of weapons and military equipment from European countries and India.
In addition, from 2025, Russian border guards will stop serving at the checkpoints on the Armenian-Iranian border.
