Pashinyan made the remarks at a press conference on January 10, Caliber.Az reports, citing the Armenian media.
Earlier, the Russian Defence Ministry reported that the CSTO peacekeeping exercises “Indestructible Brotherhood-2023” will be held in Armenia sometime in 2023.
The Armenian prime minister noted that there is some misunderstanding on this issue, as the Armenian defence minister has already informed the CSTO Joint Headquarters that the Armenian side does not consider it expedient to host the exercises.
“These exercises will not be held,” Pashinyan added.
