Yerevan's attempts to find a balance between a European course and relations with Moscow have led to problems within the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). The primary risk at this moment is the country's possible loss of voting rights in the organization.
Risks to CSTO participation and the domestic situation
According to sources, Armenia may lose its voting rights in the CSTO due to outstanding membership dues. Despite this, no official decision to withdraw from the organization has been made at this time.
Parallel to the foreign policy uncertainty, the domestic agenda is intensifying. Amid the choice between the EU and Russia, the confrontation between the current government and the opposition is growing. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan must determine the country's future development vector.
Context
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) was founded on May 15, 1992.
