ArmInfo. Armenia's absence at the CSTO summit in Astana does not create a positive image for the country, as stated by the State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus, Alexander Volfovich, when discussing Armenia's non-participation in CSTO events. "Of course, the intentional non-attendance of one of the members does not create a positive image for Armenia," the State Secretary of the Belarusian Security Council said on Belarus 1. However, he added, this does not affect the organization's overall agenda. According to Volfovich, all issues addressed and approved at the meeting of the foreign ministers, defense ministers and secretaries of the Security Councils of the CSTO member states in Astana on Thursday were thoroughly reviewed by the heads of state.
