Ararat Mirzoyan: Our int`l partners have never demanded we withdraw  from CSTO

ArmInfo.Our international partners have never put such a demand or question regarding the withdrawal from the CSTO. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated during a joint press conference with his French counterpart Catherine Colonna, answering the question of how important it is for the French side for Armenia to stop cooperation with the CSTO. 

In addition to Mirzoyan's answer, Ms. Colonna noted that  Armenia and  France have already agreed on a number of issues in the defense  sector. "We are acting very responsibly so as not to lead to  escalation, given that Armenia has a neighbor who constantly resorts  to hostile actions," the French Foreign Minister said.
