Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that CSTO leaders will be presented with a draft decision to strip Armenia of voting rights in the organization's bodies. According to him, the reason is membership dues unpaid since 2024. The draft also suspends the nomination of Armenian citizens to quota positions until the debt is paid off, and it will be considered on November 11. According to Lavrov, Armenia will retain the right to collective security.
