Armenia is clearly not participating in the work of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), and the latter will react to this, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

“We don't know what Pashinyan is waiting for. But the fact that Armenia is not participating in the work of the CSTO is obvious. And the CSTO, accordingly, will react to this,” Peskov told reporters, answering the question of why Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan “prefers to boycott” the CSTO rather than withdraw Armenia from this organization.
