The authorities consider it “inappropriate”
Armenia refused to conduct CSTO exercises on its territory in 2023. This statement was made by the Prime Minister of the Republic Nikol Pashinyan during a press conference.
According to Pashinyan, in the current situation, the Armenian authorities consider holding the exercises “inappropriate”. He noted that Yerevan informed the Joint Headquarters about this.
