The fact that the Armenian public is deeply disappointed and continues to be disappointed by the Collective Security Treaty Organization’s (CSTO) actions is obvious. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this in an interview to the Italian La Repubblica newspaper, when asked to explain the behavior of Russia not intervening and not fulfilling its duties within the CSTO.

"I at least can say that the situation you described in terms of Collective Security Treaty’s functionality and treaty-worthiness attests to the existence of a crisis. I do not think this is the problem of only Armenia, it is the problem of the entire CSTO.

"As for possible explanation, you know, that could be different explanations for that, but at least from our prespective, the explanations do not matter. The fact that the Armenian public is deeply disappointed and continues to be disappointed by the Collective Security Treaty Organization’s actions is obvious. And this is also the reason why Armenia did not ratify a number of agreements during the CSTO fall summit held in Yerevan in 2022, and since decisions are made by consensus in the CSTO, no decision was adopted then," Pashinyan said.
