The participants in the CSTO summit have stripped Armenia of the right to vote within the framework of the organization. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced this.
“Considering that for several years Armenia has not fulfilled the obligations it undertook under the organization’s charter, it was proposed and decided to strip it of the right to vote, as well as of the opportunity to appoint its representatives to senior posts in the CSTO,” he said.
At the same time, the organization’s Secretary General Taalatbek Masadykov said that the issue of Armenia’s removal from the CSTO was not raised at the Moscow summit.
