YEREVAN, December 4. /TASS/. Armenia is not interested in the documents adopted within the CSTO, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said, adding that the relations between Yerevan and the Organization passed the point of no return.
"We said that we suspend our participation in the CSTO, and this means that we do not participate in discussion of any document. We simply do not veto any document because we consider ourselves outside of the CSTO, let them do whatever they want. This situation makes Armenia’s return to the CSTO increasingly difficult, maybe even impossible. I believe that we have passed the point of no return here," he noted.
Pashinyan also commented on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s statement that the events in Nagorno-Karabakh have nothing to do with the CSTO, because Armenia was not subjected to an external aggression. According to the Prime minister, Yerevan suspended its participation not because of Nagorno-Karabakh, but because of the absence of the "appropriate reaction" to the "external aggression at the borders of sovereign Armenia in 2021 and 2022."
