ArmInfo. Armenia raises the  question not only about changes in the CSTO Charter, but also about  changing the established practice in the organization. The RA Acting  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this at a press conference.

Pashinyan again criticized the fact that President of Belarus  Alexander Lukashenko revealed the details of the closed meeting of  the CSTO heads to the Ambassador of the country, not only a  non-member of the organization, but also at war with one of the  member states.

Pashinyan also considered the Minsk and Baku arms deals unacceptable.  "This is a well-established practice that is not acceptable within  the CSTO, and it is subject to change. We will raise the issue of  changing the organization's charter if we understand that the root of  the problems rests on it. But we, first of all, should clarify our  relations with partners. But it turns out that the CSTO member state  is arming another country, which is not a member of an organization  that is at war with a member state, threatening to attack its  capital.  What is it that our CSTO partner is helping a country  hostile to us to conquer our capital? ", Pashinyan wondered.

According to him, if the former authorities of Armenia silently  watched such a development of the situation, the current ones do not  intend to put up with it: "We will demand explanations and get them."  Referring to why the previous authorities were silent on this  account, Pashinyan explained it this way: "They thought that if they  started talking, their business in one country or another would  suffer. But in Armenia, new forces came to power, which have no  business do not intend to be silent ", - concluded the Acting  premiere.
