CSTO Secretary General: the possibility of expanding the organization is not excluded. Imangali Tasmagambetov said the need for military-political alliance is growing significantly.

He noted that there is no strict “bloc discipline” in the organization, and there is also a decision-making procedure that is democratic in nature. In addition, the CSTO gives priority to political and diplomatic methods of resolving crisis situations, he said. Also, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said that the republic does not participate in the decision- making of the CSTo, but does not block them either.
