On January 8, Armen Grigoryan, the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia, said that Armenia expected assistance from the Collective Security Treaty Organization, but there was no adequate response from the CSTO.

At the same time, the head of the Armenian Security Council pointed out that Yerevan currently has no expectations from the organization. "Assistance was expected after Azerbaijani troops invaded Armenia in September 2022. Still, it was not received, and later, the Armenian side realized that there was no need to wait for any assistance and support," Grigoryan said. According to him, when the organization announced its readiness to send a mission to Armenia, the Armenian side had one question - where exactly the CSTO observers would be stationed and where the Armenian border was. "No clear answer was given to either of these questions," he emphasized.

Grigoryan also denied claims that the CSTO offered military-technical assistance to Armenia. According to him, the organization has not recognized its zone of responsibility in the Caucasus, which is a serious problem for Yerevan.

The country's Public Television interlocutor also commented on the current efforts to sign a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. According to him, on January 4, Yerevan sent Baku the next proposals on the draft agreement "On Peace and Establishment of Interstate Relations" and now awaits a response.
