Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that Yerevan will withdraw from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) if it considers it an “incompetent” structure. Yerevan will decide on such a measure only after “registering that the CSTO has left Armenia”, he said at a press conference.
If Armenia decides de jure to withdraw from the CSTO, this will happen after Armenia registers that the CSTO has left Armenia. Such a program exists if the CSTO becomes an inactive organization. Then we will have to decide our own security issues.
explained the Prime Minister.
Pashinyan’s other loud statement was the statement about Armenia’s willingness to recognize Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. For this, Baku must give guarantees that it will provide security conditions for the Armenian population of the region, the Prime Minister added.
86,600 sq km of the territory of Azerbaijan includes Nagorno-Karabakh. If we understand each other correctly, then Armenia recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within the designated boundaries, and Baku – the territorial integrity of Armenia over 29,800 square meters. kilometers
- said the Prime Minister of Armenia.
Earlier, Pashinyan had already expressed his concern about the “withdrawal of the CSTO from Armenia” in March 2023. Shortly before, Yerevan had decided not to present a candidate for the post of deputy general secretary of the CSTO. At the end of 2022, due to Azerbaijan’s violation of the ceasefire, Armenia demanded that the CSTO intervene in the situation and condemn Baku’s actions.
