Armenia says it sees no path to remain in the CSTO

Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said Armenia sees no way to remain in the CSTO.

The CSTO is a Russian-led security bloc, and Armenia is a member.

Mirzoyan said Armenia does not intend to return to the organization.

His remarks came in response to statements from the CSTO and calls to exclude Armenia.

The reports do not provide further details about those calls or the organization’s statements.

The comments signal that Armenia’s departure from the bloc remains its stated course.

The reports do not say what steps Armenia or the CSTO will take next.
