The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member states have discussed Armenia's non-payment of membership fees, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced.

"We had to discuss the matter of Armenia's non-fulfillment of obligations assumed by the CSTO Charter, as it concerns annual payments to the budget of our shared organization," Lavrov told reporters at the end of the session of the CSTO Council of Foreign Ministers, Council of Defense Ministers, and Committee of Secretaries of the Security Councils.

The Russian foreign minister emphasized that there is no room for double comments on this issue, since Armenia has not transferred CSTO membership fees since 2024.
