ArmInfo. Armenia never raised the issue of armed intervention by the Collective Security  Treaty Organization (CSTO) in the conflict with Azerbaijan. Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated on February 28 during government hour in the National Assembly of the  Republic of Armenia.

According to him, there should be no omissions on this issue: Yerevan  has never tried to involve the Organization in military actions. "We  acted as required by the CSTO documents. First of all, we expected  and expect the political position of the Organization. Moreover,  before the incidents of May 2021, we did not raise this issue at all.  The CSTO wanted to send its observers to Armenia, but what will they  do here, and, most importantly, where? If the CSTO had made a  statement on this issue concerning its area of responsibility in  Armenia, all other questions would disappear," Pashinyan emphasized.  He added that the assessment by the CSTO is also important from the  point of view of mediation in the settlement of relations with  Azerbaijan. Yerevan is ready to accept the efforts of countries that  clearly recognize those principles, those who do not recognize [these  principles], Armenia is not ready to accept, because it will bring  many new problems.  "The seriousness of the CSTO should be  demonstrated during the period of challenges faced by one of its  members," the RA Prime Minister emphasized.
