Kremlin "strongly disagrees” with Pashinyan

“We strongly disagree with Mr. Pashinyan. There can be no danger from CSTO, no threat to Armenia’s sovereignty. On the contrary, the organization protects the sovereignty of its member states. We will patiently convey this position to the leadership of Armenia,” Dmitry Peskov said in a conversation with reporters, commenting on the statement of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan that CSTO is a threat to Armenia’s security.


At the same time, the Kremlin spokesperson emphasized that Armenia is Russia’s close partner:

“Contacts with Armenia will continue, because it is our close partner.”
