Armenian Speaker of Parliament won’t attend CSTO event
Speaker of Parliament Alen Simonyan has said he won’t participate in an upcoming CSTO event scheduled to take place in December, ARMENPRESS reports.
“I have informed my CSTO colleagues that I will not participate in that given event, and there’s been no answer from them so far and I don’t think there will be. I am sure that the reasons of my non-participation are clear for them,” Simonyan said, adding that this doesn’t mean that relations with the organization are being frozen.
He said that Armenia has no decision to withdraw from CSTO.
“But I think that in the current situation my participation in the given event would be inappropriate. And the situation is such that the CSTO hasn’t been fulfilling its obligations,” the Speaker said.
