    CSTO SILENT ON ARMENIAN-AZERI ARMED CONFRONTATIONS

    17:51 ~U 27.01.14

    The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), of which Armenia
    is a member state, has not reacted to the recent border confrontations
    between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

    Vladimir Zaynetdinov, a spokesperson for the Organization whom the
    Armenian service of RFE/RL (Azatutyun.am) contacted for comments,
    said he was unaware of the last week's border tensions that resulted
    in the death of an Armenian sergeant.

    The CSTO is an intergovernmental military alliance of six Soviet
    republics: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and
    Tajikistan. The Organization came into being on 15 May 1992.

    Azerbaijan is not represented in the alliance.

    The source refers to Article 4 of the Treaty which says any aggression
    against a member state is considered aggression against all the member
    countries and requires their prompt reaction in the form of offering
    assistance (including military).
