    not bear arms against Azerbaijan, their Turkic and Muslim brother, in
    case of start of a war'

    [ 05 Jul 2012 11:20 ]


    `Uzbekistan's withdrawal from the CSTO doesn't have a negative effect
    on Armenia's security in the Caucasus'

    Moscow. Farid Akbarov - APA. `Withdrawal of Uzbekistan from the
    Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) will not weaken the
    organization', said Russian political analyst, editor-in-chief of
    `Problems of National Strategy' journal Ajdar Kurtov in the
    Moscow-Astana-Yerevan telebridge entitled `Security in the south
    border of the CIS' held in Moscow, APA's Moscow correspondent reports.

    According to him, Uzbekistan's activity in this organization was not
    heartwarming: `This step of Uzbekistan's government is a political
    mistake. It is not a forward-looking step. The Uzbek people will pay
    the results of the step of Karimov's government. Withdrawal of
    Uzbekistan from the CSTO will lead to start of local armed conflicts
    in the Central Asia. There are interstate contradictions in the
    Central Asia in the issues of energy, water and land use. These
    contradictions can cause an armed conflict between Uzbekistan and
    Tajikistan'.

    Director of International Research Analytic Center under Moscow State
    Institute of International Relations Andrey Kazantsev said that
    Uzbekistan had formally suspend its activity in the CSTO long time
    ago: `Uzbekistan hasn't been functioning in the organizations for
    several years and don't attend the organization's events. That's why
    Uzbekistan's withdrawal from the CSTO will not impact the
    organization's activity'.

    Armenian political analysts said that Uzbekistan's withdrawal from the
    CSTO is of no account for Armenia. Chief of Political Studies
    Department of the Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan said that Central
    Asian republics will not render assistance to the CSTO if the Nagorno
    Karabakh war starts: `The Islamic and Turkic factor will show itself
    here. They will not bear arms against Azerbaijan, their Turkic and
    Islamic brother. That's why Uzbekistan's withdrawal from the CSTO
    doesn't have a negative effect on Armenia's security in the Caucasus.
    Armenia has a giant ally like Russia and Armenia cooperates with
    Russia in military sphere within the CSTO. We hope Russia will help
    Armenia, the CSTO member, if the war in Armenia starts. Otherwise,
    Russia will lose both Armenia and Azerbaijan, which regained Nagorno
    Karabakh...'

    Another Armenian political analyst David Jamalyan said that the
    current situation in the South Caucasus was satisfying Russia: `In my
    opinion, the status-quo in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict satisfies
    Russia'.

    Kazakhstan's political analyst said that Kazakhstan supported the
    peaceful settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
