ArmInfo. The National-Democratic Alliance (NDA) of Armenia and Mikhail Khodorkovsky's anti-war movement Kovcheg (The Ark) have held a protest in Yerevan, demanding Armenia's secession from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
The protest in Yerevan's Liberty Square was attended by around 1,000 people, who demanded the withdrawal of the Russian military base from Armenia and Armenia's secession from the CSTO. The organizers assured the participants that only after making relevant steps can Armenia rely on U.S. military aid and hope for restoring its sovereignty.
Armenia's incumbent authorities are following a course of choice "between the Turkish yataghan and the Russian heel." So Armenia should leave the CSTO and join civilized Europe.
The protesters marched toward the Russian Embassy in Yerevan to voice their support for Ukraine and decry Russian's actions in Ukraine.
This is the second protest organized by the NDA to demand Armenia's secession from the CSTO.
