Russian Foreign Ministry representative Maria Zakharova commented on Pashinyan's speech about the CSTO. “At the moment, we are considering the situation within the framework of mediation functions that our country has, and we are using all the tools to calm the situation on the ground, also politically. Negotiations are underway at all levels, the foreign ministers of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia held meetings in Moscow.
Contacts continue at all levels, and work is being done in that direction. The same can be said about CSTO. The organization has its speakers, we are the participants of this agreement and we consider the activity of the organization to be very effective. Each country has its own rights and opportunities to evaluate the activities of this organization.”
