Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called a "fabrication" the claims by Armenian Security Council Secretary Alen Simonyan that the CSTO had not responded to Yerevan's appeals. In a comment to Lenta.ru, Zakharova addressed the three-line verse Simonyan had published, noting that "in fact it is a quatrain." On November 11, Dmitry Peskov said that Armenia had been deprived of its voting rights in the CSTO.
