Armenia's prime minister declined to fly to the summit in Moscow.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will travel to Turkey on November 11 to participate in the 31st UN Climate Change Conference. This was reported by Armenpress.

Thus, the Armenian prime minister will miss the Collective Security Treaty Organization summit, which will take place in Moscow on the same day.

During the briefing, Pashinyan confirmed his intention to attend the climate conference and stated that he plans to actively participate in its proceedings.

At the CSTO summit in Moscow, representatives from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan will discuss the development of the collective security system, counterterrorism strategy, and the regional and international situation. It was previously reported that the summit might consider stripping Yerevan of its voting rights in the organization.

Armenia suspended its participation in the CSTO in February 2024. Yerevan explained this decision by stating that the organization had failed to provide the country with the necessary support during the armed conflict with Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh.

On November 5, 2026, Pashinyan stated that Armenia’s interest in the CSTO had come to an end.
