CSTO obligations to Yerevan are maintained. CSTO Secretary General

“We keep working with Yerevan. I would like to emphasize once again that the Republic of Armenia remains an ally, and the obligations of the organization to the country are maintained. As for the statute of readiness to resume cooperation with the CSTO, the format of relations has not changed, remains the same, “Tashamagambetov said.

In February 2024, Armenia stated that it was freezing its participation in the CSTO events, and then refused to provide funding for this structure, but did not formally talk to the meetings of the CSTO.

Yerevan strongly criticizes the CSTO, especially in 2022, after the invasion of the Azerbaijani forces, when that structure did not only not defend its member, but also did not respond to Azerbaijan’s aggression.

In September 2024, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the CSTO poses threats to Armenia’s security, adding to Yerevan, it has frozen its membership in that structure.
