The phrase "CSTO is leaving the region" means that the CSTO does not do the actions it should do and it shows its absence. Speaker Alen Simonyan of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia told this to reporters Monday in the parliament.

To the remark that the CSTO is not going to leave the region and is sending its secretary general to Armenia, and asked whether Armenia is going to take certain steps to leave the CSTO, Simonyan said: "That coming [to Armenia by the CSTO Secretary General] does not mean that the CSTO will not leave Armenia. That he came. What? What changed? Regardless of everything, Armenia is taking its steps. There is no step that being a member of the CSTO is hindering us at the moment, causing concern. Regardless of which organization we are in, we continue to look for all possible ways to ensure the security of Armenia. And from the political point of view, he came and went, let them come and go; the issue will not be resolved by that. They will come and go, it will not prevent from carrying out action after two days. We have had the experience of this with those who have even higher positions."

The NA speaker emphasized that, at the moment, the actions and reaction of the CSTO are definitely not enough for Armenia.

"The visit of the Secretary General of the CSTO to Armenia, providing the theoretical part, I don't know how much it is enough to put something on the ground because by being in the CSTO, we had advances [by the Azerbaijani army] in the direction of Sev lake, Jermuk [city of Armenia]," Simonyan said.
