CSTO to Discuss Depriving Armenia of Vote Right
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told TASS news agency that the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) may consider depriving Armenia of its voting rights during the military alliance's upcoming summit in November.
The CSTO is a Moscow-led defense bloc comprising Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Armenia. The potential measure signals ongoing tensions within the alliance, though specific details about the circumstances prompting such discussion were not provided in available reporting.
This development comes amid broader geopolitical dynamics in the South Caucasus region. The statement represents a significant diplomatic development for Armenia's standing within the regional security organization.
