MOSCOW, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Russia will reach out to Armenia regarding the latter's statement of suspending participation in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.

Earlier in the day, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Armenia had frozen its participation in the CSTO as the Treaty failed to fulfill its objectives.

"The Armenian side has not taken any official actions in this regard," Peskov said, adding that Russia will contact Armenia for clarification of the statement.

"It is very important to understand the details, and we hope that our Armenian friends will explain everything to us," the spokesperson said.
