Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has announced that Yerevan will not take any steps aimed at intensifying activities within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
The statement was made by the prime minister on April 20 in a video message posted on his Facebook page.
“Armenia’s membership in the CSTO, as you know, is frozen, and there will be no steps aimed at returning to activity,” he said.
Pashinyan added that this provision on freezing the country’s actions in the CSTO is fixed in the election program of the ruling Civil Contract party.
The Prime Minister also noted that Yerevan understands the incompatibility of membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the European Union (EU), but left the future decision to the will of the Armenian people.
“We know that membership in the EAEU and the European Union is incompatible. When the moment comes when there is no room for reconciliation, then, naturally, the people of the Republic of Armenia will vote and make a decision,” Pashinyan explained.
