MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. Yerevan is not currently participating in the CSTO’s activities, and the organization will respond appropriately to this, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

"[Nikol] Pashinyan has repeatedly stated that Armenia has lost interest in participating in the CSTO," the spokesman said, recalling the Armenian prime minister’s remarks. "We don't know what Pashinyan has in mind, but it's clear that Armenia isn't participating in the CSTO's activities," he added, noting that Yerevan hasn't initiated the withdrawal process. "The CSTO will respond accordingly," Peskov stressed.

"Everything stipulated in the charter can be invoked by decision of the member states. And the minister explained exactly what is stipulated in the charter yesterday," the spokesman emphasized, commenting on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks that member states would not "expel" Armenia from the CSTO.
