The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has stripped Armenia of its voting rights and its right to appoint representatives to key positions within the bloc, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.
Speaking to Russian journalist Alexander Yunashev of Life, Peskov said the decision was taken at a CSTO summit in accordance with the organization’s charter. He said Armenia had failed to fulfill its obligations for several years.
“Given that Armenia has failed to fulfill its obligations for several years, and in accordance with the organization’s charter, it was proposed—and subsequently decided—to strip Armenia of its voting rights, as well as its right to appoint representatives to key positions within the CSTO,” Peskov said, according to Anadolu Agency.
