Armenia has no reason not to ratify the protocol on deploying military
infrastructures in CSTO member states, military expert Davit Apinyan
told the reporters on Saturday.
`The CSTO membership and all the documents stemming from it grant us
guarantees and allow us make use of a number of privileges in
acquiring military engineering,' he said.
With the protocol Armenia can deploy military base of other countries,
not members of the CSTO, only in case of written consent of the CSTO
member states. The protocol though has raised opposition's complaint,
which claims that it will harm Armenia. The opposition representatives
explain that Armenia views Nagorno Karabakh as an independent country
but after the ratification of the protocol it should ask permission
from Tajiks and Kazakhs for deploying Nagorno Karabakh military
infrastructure in its country.
`If a disturbing situation is created Armenia will be the guarantor of
Karabakh's security and we are a sovereign state and have to do what
we are obliged to do,' the military expert said.
