Armenia seeks CSTO exclusion and pursues EU membership

Armenia CSTO Nikol Pashinyan European Union Russia

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has reaffirmed his decision to suspend cooperation with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a Russian-led military alliance. Pashinyan stated that Armenia will not resume or reactivate its work within the organization, citing its perceived failure to provide support during recent conflicts with Azerbaijan.

In a move that signals a significant shift in regional geopolitics, Pashinyan expressed a preference for Armenia to be formally excluded from the CSTO, noting that such an action would resolve the diplomatic dilemma of not officially withdrawing. Simultaneously, Armenia is pursuing membership in the European Union, further distancing itself from Moscow's historical influence in the region.
