Armenia has not raised the possibility of withdrawing from the CIS

Armenia has not raised the possibility of withdrawing from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), despite Yerevan having effectively suspended its participation in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

CIS Secretary General Sergey Lebedev stated this in an interview with TASS.

“No. Both the Prime Minister himself and many other representatives have told me that Armenia intends to remain in the CIS. We have not heard a single statement suggesting that the country plans to withdraw,” Lebedev said in response to a question about whether Armenia had expressed any intention to leave the organization.
