Armenia absent from CSTO defence ministers meeting in Russia

Armenia did not participate in a meeting of defence ministers from the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) held in Russia's Moscow region.

Representatives from Armenia were absent from the gathering, despite the country's membership in the Russia-led security alliance. However, Armenia's national flag was displayed alongside those of the other CSTO member states at the venue, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

The meeting brought together defence officials from member countries of the military bloc, which includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Armenia.
