Kremlin Seeks Clarification on Armenia's Joint Military Drills with US

Speaking with journalists on September 11, Dmitry Peskov, the Press Secretary of the Russian President, stated that Armenia's decision to conduct joint military exercises with the United States rather than with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) requires serious analysis.
"We need to understand what goals Armenia is pursuing, we will do this in a partnership dialogue with it," the Kremlin representative noted. At the same time, Peskov emphasized that Russia and Armenia have been and will be close partners. "There may be problems, but they need to be resolved through negotiations," Peskov expressed.
According to the Press Secretary of the Russian President, there have been no official signals about Armenia’s withdrawal from the CSTO. "But the Kremlin has seen many discussions on this topic, including by pro-Western Armenian analysts," he said.
