Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan voiced criticism against a number of
military allies for their positions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
as he received visiting Secretary-General of the Collective Security
Treaty Organization (CSTO) Nikolay Bordyuzha on Monday.
According to the presidential press service, Sargsyan welcomed
the visit of the CSTO Secretary-General which he described as
"purposeful" and "pertaining 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."
At the same time the Armenian leader 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," he added.
According to the report, 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. "[Azerbaijani President]
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," he emphasized.
According to President Sargsyan, 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," he said.
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,
Bordyuzha expressed the opinion that it is necessary to report and
discuss all those issues which, he said, can seriously affect the
security of the CSTO member states at the upcoming session of the
CSTO Council.
Armenia's CSTO allies are Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan
and Tajikistan.
