Armenia has confirmed it will not approve or contribute to the CSTO’s 2024 budget, effectively withdrawing from funding the bloc’s operations. This decision follows ongoing tensions, with PM Pashinyan previously labeling the alliance a “security threat” to Armenia.
Armenia has confirmed it will not contribute to the Collective Security Treaty Organisation's (CSTO) 2024 budget, effectively halting its financial support of the Russian-led military alliance.
The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated it has formally informed the CSTO Secretariat of its decision, signaling a significant break in the country's involvement.
This move follows warnings from Russia that Armenia risks facing unspecified "alternative courses of action" if it fails to pay its dues by 2025. The decision underscores the deepening rift between Yerevan and the CSTO, which Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has increasingly criticised.
Pashinyan has previously declared a suspension of Armenia's participation in CSTO activities and labeled the alliance a "security threat," asserting that relations have reached a point of no return.
