Kremlin Says Armenia Free to Leave CSTO After Pashinyan Remarks

The Kremlin said Armenia is free to leave the CSTO after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said he would be happy if the alliance expelled his country. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Pashinyan's remarks incomprehensible and reacted to his comments on both the CSTO and the EU. The statements came during a Kremlin briefing that also addressed Armenia's CSTO future. Yerevan is described as free to withdraw from the Moscow-led security bloc.
