Armenia Rejects Obligations to Replace CSTO Mechanisms, Says “Armenia” Bloc Spokesperson

In an interview with NEWS.am, Anna Grigoryan, spokesperson for the “Armenia” bloc, stated that the collective entry is not prepared to assume any obligations on behalf of Armenia that would replace the mechanisms of the CSTO. Grigoryan addressed the issue of internal affairs, noting that criticizing the CSTO member states, expressing disappointment, or being frustrated with anti-Russian rhetoric does not warrant leaving the organization.

Furthermore, Grigoryan mentioned that Armenia previously received official documents from the CSTO, but their contents have not been disclosed.
