The problems that exist today, at least in terms of relations with us, at least exist and are open. Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan told this to reporters Wednesday, commenting on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement that the West is dividing the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), and it is also noted at the level of analysts that Armenia is also involved in it.

"The problems that exist are well known to all of you, and we have talked about them publicly. All responses in connection with these issues have been public. Now, what significance it will have and what consequences it will have for the organization, please assess for yourself," the Armenian deputy premier said—addressing the reporters.

To the question whether Armenia is considering terminating or temporarily freezing CSTO membership, Grigoryan responded: "All similar issues should be viewed in the domain of official public positions."

And in response to the remark that this matter was discussed at the Security Council of Armenia some time ago, the Armenian deputy PM said: "The matters discussed at the Security Council are public to that extent, and we talk about them to the extent that these matters can be public. I will neither deny nor confirm any other matter."
