Expert: Armenia turning into Russia satellite in CSTO resulted by  Yerevan policy inferiority 

ArmInfo. Armenia's  turning into Russia's  satellite in CSTO is the result of  inferiority of  Yerevan's  policy, the Director of Armenian Institute of International Relations and Security stated his opinion.

 "I think we should accept the content of Karabakh conflict  related   CSTO statements of the absence of those exactly from this point of  view, and we should not try to compare those to OSCE statements. OSCE  Minsk Group has a mandate to find the path for Nagorno Karabakh  conflict settlement, while CSTO's function is to protect the security  of its member countries," he mentioned.  In this respect the expert  thinks that the absence of real not declarative allies of Armenia,  the problematic policy of Moscow, and the assuredness of Baku in the  question of Karabakh conflict in the first turn - is the result of  the inferiority of Armenian foreign policy. 

In this respect Safaryan does not see any alternative option for OSCE  MG format in the Karabakh conflict settlement  process and at the  same time considers unacceptable  for Yerevan continuing the work in  this format as non-adequate, like it used to be during all recent  years. According to him, Armenia could hardly find anything better  than Minsk Group to proceed on with the settlement of the conflict.
