Russia Warns Armenia Could Lose CSTO Rights After 2 Years of Unpaid Dues

Summary
More than 2 years of unpaid CSTO dues could cost Armenia some membership rights, with Sergei Lavrov saying members may invoke a charter article allowing suspension for late payment.
Kazan talks among the 6-member alliance produced the warning as tensions between Moscow and Yerevan continue to rise, sharpening pressure on Armenia inside the Russia-led bloc.
The move targets rights within the CSTO rather than Armenia's formal membership, signaling a procedural escalation over finances that could deepen the political rift.
