Russian Foreign Ministry comments on Armenia not attending CSTO Council of Foreign Ministers meeting

Moscow hopes that Yerevan will understand that the CSTO platform provides all the opportunities for cooperation in matters of regional security. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told RIA Novosti, commenting on Armenia’s non-participation in the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CSTO to be held in Almaty on June 21.

“We hope that our Armenian partners—and we remain allies—will understand that the most effective method of ensuring regional security is the cooperation of regional states, and the CSTO platform provides all the opportunities for this,” Galuzin said.
