Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on November 6 that Yerevan de facto does not participate in the work of the CSTO. According to him, the organization's statutory documents provide for certain steps, and Armenia's future status will depend on discussions within the organization. Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin said Armenia could be stripped of its voting rights at the November 11 session. Armenia froze its participation in the CSTO in 2024.
