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).
