On May 31, Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan met with heads of parliamentary delegations of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member-countries, who arrived in Yerevan to participate in a visiting meeting of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly.

Serzh Sargsyan noted that Armenia attaches importance to integration processes within the CSTO. “Armenia’s National Assembly has already approved 30 out of 31 agreements signed within the CSTO,” the President stressed.

Even large countries are sometimes unable to tackle numerous challenges, he said, adding that the process of integration implemented within the Organization is very important for such countries, as Armenia.

Chairman of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly, Russian State Duma speaker Boris Gryzlov noted that the meeting of the CSTO PA in Yerevan is the first visiting one. Participants of the meeting also stated that the meeting will serve as a new stimulus for the CSTO PA, the RA President’s press service reported.
