Russia ambassador: Matter of Armenia leaving CSTO not currently on agenda

Armenia is not getting ready to leave the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)—albeit the country's representatives are not participating in the organization's meetings, Russian ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin told TASS.

"In this matter, we first of all focus on the official statements by Armenia’s leadership, according to which a matter of the Republic of Armenia leaving the CSTO is not currently on the agenda. As you know, the Republic of Armenia will preside over the Eurasian Economic Union next year," added the Russian diplomat.
