CSTO chief, Armenian defense minister discuss military cooperation,
Armenian-Azeri conflict
MOSCOW. Jan 19
General Secretary of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
Nikolai Bordyuzha and Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian
discussed military cooperation and the situation on the Armenian-Azeri
border by telephone on Monday, CSTO spokesman Vladimir Zainetdinov
told Interfax-AVN on Monday.
"The talks dealt with progress made in implementing the resolutions
passed by the organization's Collective Security Council in December
pertaining to military cooperation and the situation in the Caucasus
collective-security region, given the continuing tensions on the
frontline along the Armenian-Azeri border provoked by recurrent
gunfire attacks from the neighboring side," Zainetdinov said.
The parties said that efforts should be made to ease tensions, saying
that a peaceful settlement of the conflict has no alternative.
In connection with the tragic killing of an Armenian family in Gyumri,
the CSTO general secretary conveyed condolences to the victims'
relatives and to the fraternal Armenian people. "He said he was
convinced that the joint investigation would be thorough and
objective, and that all those guilty would receive their just
punishment," Zainetdinov said.
