Belarus urges restricting Armenia's access to classified CSTO documents

Belarus considers it advisable to restrict Armenia's access to classified documents of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov said in an interview with state broadcaster Belarus 1.

Ryzhenkov argued that sensitive alliance intelligence could theoretically be used against the interests of member states committed to developing the bloc.

The minister added that Armenia's top political leadership—rather than its public—has shifted its stance toward the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), describing Yerevan's current approach as "passive participation" aimed at selectively leveraging only advantageous mechanisms.
