Armenia, despite the de facto freezing of its participation in the CSTO, has not raised the question of leaving the CIS. This was stated by CIS Secretary General Sergei Lebedev.
“No. The prime minister personally told me, as have many other representatives of the Armenian leadership, that they continue to remain in the CIS. We have not heard any statement that Armenia is preparing to leave the organization,” Lebedev said, answering the question of whether Yerevan has announced a desire to leave the CIS.
