Armenia does not plan to reduce cooperation with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) or withdraw from it. CIS General Secretary Sergey Lebedev informed “Izvestia” about this.
“No, reduction of [Armenia-CIS cooperation] is not planned. [Yerevan is interested in contacts with the CIS] in many directions: in the economic, political and, of course, humanitarian spheres. In the military-political sphere, in connection with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), they have certain doubts and complications. In the rest of the issues, as far as the CIS is concerned, there are no problems,” he noted.
