Armenian Parliament speaker to visit Russia

Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan will pay an official visit to Russia on October 9 at the invitation of Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin, Report informs, citing Armenpress.

The Parliament speaker revealed his plans to discuss the issues related to the CSTO during his upcoming visit to Russia.

Asked whether or not Armenia considers withdrawing from the CSTO, Simonyan said:

"It is very possible that the CSTO itself will make a decision to withdraw from Armenia because if this organization isn't giving a proper reaction, I still maintain my opinion that we must deliberate and understand. But at the same time, this is not a game for us to make some abrupt moves without knowing what to do next or what would follow. But definitely, there is a problem, I have spoken about this."
