Acting  Foreign Minister: Armenia has its candidates for the post of  CSTO Secretary General

Acting  Foreign Minister: Armenia has its candidates for the post of  CSTO Secretary General

ArmInfo. If we decide that we  must nominate our candidate for the post of the CSTO Secretary  General, I want to note that Armenia has enough resources to nominate  a candidate who can fulfill the duties assigned to him at the proper  level. About this November 2 in an interview with journalists, said  the Acting Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakakyan, referring to the  recall of CSTO Secretary General Yuri Khachaturov.

He noted that Armenia was able to maintain the possibility of  nominating a candidate for this post, and this issue is now on our  agenda. Mnatsakanyan informed that next week a meeting of the  Security Council of Armenia will be held, at which issues related to  the CSTO will be discussed.  Acting  Foreign Minister did not answer  the question of who is a potential candidate for this position,  saying: "Armenia has candidates." At the same time, he assured that  the work of the organization will continue as usual.

When asked whether Armenia was interested in nominating a candidate,  Mnatsakanyan replied: "We are interested in seeing the CSTO, as an  organization, continue to be profitable. And I'm sure that we can  make it remain that way," the acting president concluded. Minister of  Foreign Affairs. Note that today Yuri Haaturov left the post of CSTO  Secretary General. Recall that the CSTO Secretary General, Yuri  Khachaturov, is accused of overthrowing the constitutional order in  the so-called "case of March 1, 2008".  At that time, he served as  head of the Yerevan garrison. By the court's decision of July 28, he  was arrested and then released on bail in the amount of 5 million  drams. Official Yerevan invited the CSTO colleagues to consider the  possibility of replacing the candidacy of the CSTO Secretary General  from Armenia in connection with the criminal prosecution of Yuri  Khachaturov. On the eve of Minsk, President of Armenia Armen Sargsyan  has already announced that the procedure for recalling Khachaturov  has begun.  Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry of Armenia today hastened  with a new statement that Armenia cannot withdraw the CSTO Secretary  General, since he is not a representative of the republic, but the  head of the organization. "A decision may be taken on replacing the  secretary general on the basis of a collective decision of the member  states," the RA Foreign Ministry said, informing that Armenia had  initiated the process of considering the issue of replacing  Khachaturov. Despite the contradictory statements of various branches  of the government of the RA, less, Khachaturov was recalled today.
