According to Collective Security Treaty Organization Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov, the CSTO is anticipating Armenia's clarification of its future relationship with the organization. He made this statement during a Council of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly meeting, as reported by the Russian TASS.

“We expect the political leadership of the [Armenian] republic to clarify the prospects of its relations with the CSTO. It would be useful for all participants of our union - first of all, in terms of full planning of future joint activities,” Imangali Tasmagambetov noted. 

The CSTO Secretary General, Imangali Tasmagambetov, noted, "In the last year, the colleagues from Armenia have considerably reduced their participation in the organization’s events.”

“Nevertheless, quite basic mechanisms of interaction are functioning. The Republic of Armenia remains a full member of the organization, and all obligations towards that country are fully maintained,” Tasmagambetov added.

A meeting of the Council of the Parliamentary Assembly of the CSTO commenced on May 31 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, chaired by Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the Russian State Duma. The parliamentarians discussed strategies for countering challenges and threats to collective security. Additionally, the statement mentioned that they will consider changes to the CSTO PA’s action plan for 2021-2025 to bring closer and harmonize the national legislations of the CSTO member states.

Yuri Shuvalov from the CSTO secretariat informed that Armenia opted not to attend the meeting, although it had no objection to adopting decisions in Almaty within a limited format.
