Armenia is interested in maintaining high-level relations with the Russian Federation, but Yerevan has issues that must be resolved in an atmosphere of partnership, Armenian Defense Minister Suren Papikyan said at a press conference today.
“Official Yerevan is interested in maintaining high-level relations with Moscow, but when we talk about the CSTO, about the events of 2022, we have questions that are objective. These questions should be answered in the course of a healthy discussion. The depth of our future cooperation depends on these answers,” the Defense Minister said.
“Armenia has not canceled a single bilateral document on relations with Russia. We have not even officially withdrawn from the CSTO, but de facto we do not take part in any event. It is not our fault Armenia has no officer in the CSTO,” he noted.
