YEREVAN. - Commander of Kazakhstan air defense forces Nurlan Ormanbetov
evaded the question on Astana's commitments within CSTO.
His remarks came in response to a request to comment on the opinion
that CSTO commitments in case of Azerbaijan's aggression against
Armenia differ in paper and in reality. This position is explained
by the fact that Central Asian states are Muslim countries just
as Azerbaijan.
Ormanbetov deemed the question inaccurate in terms of mentioning
Muslim religion and recalled that the meeting was dedicated to work
within CIS, not CSTO.
Coordinating Committee on air defense at the Council of Defense
Ministers of CIS is holding a meeting in Yerevan.
