ArmInfo. Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian President, commented on the statements of  Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan regarding the circumstances under which Yerevan may withdraw from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

 "In general, the CSTO has authority among the member states. It demonstrates its effectiveness. As for the  statement of the Prime Minister of Armenia, we will continue the dialogue with our Armenian friends and discuss about our further conscientious participation in the CSTO," the Kremlin spokesman said, Gazeta.ru reports. 

Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Armenia  would decide to withdraw from the Collective Security Treaty  Organization (CSTO) if it considers it an "incompetent" organization.  According to the prime minister, such an agenda is being considered  in case the CSTO becomes an inactive organization. The Prime Minister  also noted that in this case, Armenia will solve its security issues  on its own.
