Armenia stripped of voting rights in the CSTO

Member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) have stripped Armenia of its voting rights within the organisation.

According to TodayPress TV, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalist Aleksandr Yunashев about the decision.

“The issue was raised and a decision was made. Since Armenia has failed to fulfil its obligations for several years, it was proposed, in accordance with the organisation's charter, to strip Armenia of its voting rights, as well as its right to appoint representatives to senior positions within the CSTO. A decision on this has been adopted,” he said.
