Armenia will not participate in the CSTO summit in Astana on November 28, Russia's Permanent Representative to the CSTO Viktor Vasilyev said.
"Armenian colleagues have declined personal participation in this event. However, they do not object to all documents that are supposed to be approved being adopted in a so-called limited format," he said.
