On 6 October, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan received the
Secretary-General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)
Nikolay Bordyuzha who in the Republic of Armenia on a working visit,
the president's press-service told ArmInfo.
The Armenian President welcomed the visit of the CSTO
Secretary-General, which is purposeful and pertains to the growing
tensions at the borders of the CSTO member states in the recent
period, including the drastic aggravation of the situation along
the Armenian-Azeri and the Nagorno-Karabakh- Azeri line of contact
in August this year. He noted that unfortunately, Azeri provocative
actions in every possible way pose a threat to the fragile security
system of the area under the CSTO responsibility. By permanently
violating the ceasefire regime, Azerbaijan hampers the efforts of
the OSCE Minks Group aimed at peaceful resolution of the conflict.
The president underscored that the positions of a number of
CSTO partners on issues being of paramount importance to allies,
particularly on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, expressed in different
international platforms, do not correspond to the common spirit of
the negotiation process, contradict the statements and proposals of
the OSCE Minsk Group, as well as to the documents endorsed within
the framework of the CSTO. Ilham Aliyev's bellicose and Armenophobic
statements do not rouse a keen response among our CSTO partners which
could have suppressed the adventurous desires of the Azeri leadership.
According to the president, in the end Azerbaijan continues to
aggravate tensions and initiate provocative actions rudely violating
his commitment to peaceful resolution of the conflict and the norms
of international humanitarian law. This was plainly testified by
the murder of Karen Petrosyan who had been taken prisoner by the
Azeri side.
Nikolay Bordyuzha noted that ahead of the preparation of the upcoming
session of the CSTO Council he is now studying the most acute security
problems that the CSTO member states face. According to him, there
are a few of them, including the situation pertaining to the mentioned
heightened tensions in summer. Referring to the meetings held by the
President of the CSTO Council Vladimir Putin in connection with those
events, Nikolay Bordyuzha expressed the opinion that it is necessary
to report and to discuss all those issues which can seriously affect
the security of the CSTO member states at the upcoming session of
the CSTO Council.
