President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan thanked CSTO member states for
their position on Kessab.
President Sargsyan recalled that situation in Syria, possible
developments in Afghanistan and the Middle East were discussed during
the Council of Collective Security meeting in Sochi.
`I want to thank for the position of CSTO member states on
Armenian-populated Syrian town of Kessab that was reflected in a
statement adopted by the Foreign Ministers of CSTO member states on
April 3,' Sargsyan said during an informal meeting with the presidents
of Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in Moscow.
He attached importance to the role of Russia in settlement of Syrian crisis.
On March 21, armed militants from the Jabhat al-Nusra Islamic
terrorist group infiltrated into northern Syria's Latakia Governorate.
Two large groups of terrorists had launched the attack from Turkey.
About 600 Kessab-Armenian families were initially sheltered in Latakia
city. A group of Armenia parliament members had visited Syria to
assess the situation in the region.
