Yerevan does not deny making a decision on the CSTO budget for 2024 in a limited format.
Armenian authorities have decided to stop funding the activities of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). This was said by the spokesperson of the country’s Foreign Ministry, Ani Badalyan, Armenpress reported on Wednesday, May 8.
“The Republic of Armenia will refrain from participating in the decision of the CSTO Collective Security Council of November 23, 2023 on the budget of the CSTO for 2024 and participation in the financing of the activities of the organization provided by this decision,” he said.
At the same time, Badalyan noted that Yerevan does not deny making a decision on the CSTO budget for 2024 in a limited format.
Let’s recall that in February, Armenia suspended its participation in the CSTO. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan declared that Yerevan can no longer rely on Russia as its main defense and military partner. He also stated the condition for Armenia’s withdrawal from the CSTO.
