Belarus president: "CSTO won't collapse" without Armenia

Belarus is absolutely calmly reacting to the statements of the Armenian side about membership in the CSTO.

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko made the remark while talking to journalists after voting in the parliamentary elections on February 25, BelTA reports.

"We react to it absolutely calmly. If they don't want to be in the CSTO, it won't collapse, won't fall apart," he said.

Besides, there have been no official notifications from Yerevan in this regard, said the Belarusian leader.

Lukashenko advised the Armenian side not to hurry and not to make any sudden moves: "It's easy to go out. But then it will be difficult to come in. There's no need to go out, there's no need to freeze something.”
