Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced Armenia’s intention to withdraw from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), criticizing the alliance for failing its responsibilities during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with Azerbaijan. Pashinyan accused CSTO members of colluding with Azerbaijan against Armenia, stating, “We will decide when to leave. We are moving towards a sovereign, peaceful, and secure state with demarcated borders.” He emphasized that Armenia is resolute in its decision and will not return to CSTO.
