The Secretary-General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Imangali Tasmagambetov said that Armenia’s non-participation in the bloc’s work doesn’t affect its efficiency.
Speaking at a press conference on December 4, Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov said he hopes Armenia will soon re-join the CSTO activities.
He said the current format of relations between Armenia and the CSTO has been formed at the decision of Yerevan.
“Nevertheless, Armenia’s non-participation in the issues discussed within the organization doesn’t impact our work’s efficiency. In any case, we proceed from the fact that Armenia is our ally, and all our obligations towards Armenia remain in force. The Republic of Armenia can return to full participation in the organization’s work at any time. There are no objections or obstructions by CSTO members. We hope that after some time the Republic of Armenia will nevertheless join the work of our organization,” the Secretary General said.Armenia froze its participation in CSTO in February 2024.
