On June 12, during a conversation with journalists, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that attempting to link the issue of changing Armenia's constitution with the peace treaty with Azerbaijan undermines the peace process. "As for the constitutional change, I believe that the attempt to link this issue, to add it to what is on the negotiating table, is torpedoing the peace process. I don't rule out that there is a certain intent here to interfere in Armenia's internal affairs, as well as to start certain processes in Armenia based on spreading disinformation," Pashinyan stated. He reminded that he had spoken about the need to revise Armenia's Basic Law back in 2018-2019 but emphasized that this agenda is exclusively related to democratic changes. "We said that constitutional changes cannot be part of the negotiations, as it is exclusively an internal issue," the prime minister asserted. Pashinyan also mentioned the possibility of opening transportation communications with Azerbaijan before signing a peace agreement and delimiting the border. He emphasized, "It is quite possible to establish real peace through practical steps and then only sign an agreement. But in any case, the peace agreement should be signed."

During the government hour in Parliament, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan discussed plans to withdraw from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). Addressing the defeat in the 44-day war in Karabakh and those responsible, Pashinyan attributed the blame to those who created the bubble alliance.' When the audience asked why Armenia had not withdrawn from the CSTO, the prime minister responded that the authorities were addressing the issue. "Those who formed a certain 'bubble alliance' are to blame, the members of which, as it turned out, do not fulfill their contractual obligations but plan a war against us with Azerbaijan. They are to blame... Is that what you are scaring us with? And we are doing the right thing. We will decide ourselves when to leave," Pashinyan stated, addressing the opposition MPs. Amid indistinct remarks from the hall, Pashinyan asserted, "We will decide." He further emphasized, "And you think what is the next step? Do you think we will go back? No, there is no other way. We will not go back."

During the government hour in Parliament on June 12, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, in the presence of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, attempted to clarify his previous comments regarding a possible withdrawal from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). MP from the ruling "Civil Contract" party noted that various media outlets had presented statements made by Pashinyan earlier this Wednesday as an announcement of Armenia's withdrawal from the CSTO. In light of this, the Prime Minister's party requested that the head of the Foreign Ministry clarify the situation. In response, Mirzoyan stated that the parliamentary session was recorded and that it was possible to verify the exact words spoken. "The Armenian Prime Minister did not say we are leaving the CSTO. The Prime Minister said that we will decide when we will withdraw. But we will not go back. He said this—not less, but also not more. If someone claims that the Prime Minister said that Armenia is leaving the CSTO, he is mistaken, and it is easily proven," Mirzoyan explained.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that the Ambassadors of Armenia to Belarus and Belarus to Armenia have been recalled for consultations. Speaking about Armenia's complex relations with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Pashinyan referred to the controversial statement made by the President of Belarus. "One of the leaders of the CSTO states that he participated in the preparation of the war and that he encourages, believes, and wishes for the victory of Azerbaijan. After that, I will go to discuss something with the head of Belarus in the format of the CSTO?" Pashinyan remarked. Due to these tensions, Pashinyan emphasized that he would not visit Belarus again as long as Alexander Lukashenko remains President of Belarus. He declared, "No official representative of Armenia will go to Belarus from now on."
