The CSTO is a developing and a very promising military-political
establishment: a number of countries, having special interests, are
involved in it, yet there is some common, as they all appeared in
the same establishment, according to Davit Jamalyan, military expert.
Davit Jamalyan told Armenpress that first of all the common interests
with Russia in a variety of issues unite the countries. "The CSTO's
first and main mechanism as a military-political establishment is the
rapid reaction force, which gives quite a real image to CSTO," he said.
According to the military expert, Armenia has agreements with Russia
not only within the framework of the CSTO, but also directly with the
country. This firstly refers to military security issues, about which
Armenia has serious expectations from other member-states of the CTSO,
as some mutual agreements are available. This may refer to various
forms of mutual assistance. There are serious expectations from the
rapid reaction force.
As to the Azerbaijani side's statements, according to which the CSTO is
an inefficient establishment, Davit Jamalyan said the Armenian-Russian
strategic partnership caused serious concerns by the Azerbaijani
side. "Therefore they tend to discredit Armenia's cooperation with
Russia through creating a background of mockery." The military expert
says in fact the Azerbaijani side realizes that the countries, which
strongly cooperate with Russia on the basis of geopolitical interests,
are involved in the CSTO.
"One should not overestimate the significance of CSTO, but if the
cooperation is deepened, CSTO as a military-political establishment
will become stronger," he said.
