ArmInfo. The situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border is always in the field of view of the CSTO.
On August 10, in a conversation with Armenian journalists during a visit to one of the military units of the RA Armed Forces in the Ararat region, CSTO Secretary General Stanislav Zas said, answering the question of what proposals the Organization has developed to resolve the situation on the border, and why the organization does not give a clear and clear assessment of the incidents on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
According to him, the CSTO will conduct an organized monitoring, and first of all with the help of the state bodies of Armenia.
"Of course, we believe that the incidents on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border that you are talking about pose a security threat to the Caucasus region and, of course, to Armenia, a member of the CSTO. If we talk about ways of solving the problem, we think that the possibilities for a political solution to this situation have not been exhausted. In fact, it would be the best option for everyone, "said the CSTO Secretary General.
At the same time, Zas is convinced that the trilateral format Armenia-Azerbaijan-Russia should play a positive role in this process. "Of course, we are seriously concerned about the expansion of the geography of border clashes and the increase in their frequency. It is also troubling and not conducive to the work indicated. In addition, this generally complicates the implementation of the cornerstone agreements reached between the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia to end the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and find ways to establish peace in the region. We expect that all parties will understand this and take steps to focus on resolving their differences by political means," Zas concluded .
To note, the CSTO Secretary General is in Yerevan on a two-day working visit. ThYesterdaye day before, he held meetings at the Foreign Ministry, the Defense Ministry and the Security Council of Armenia. Today his meeting the Prime Minister of Armenia is expected. It is also worth noting that this is the first visit of the CSTO Secretary General to Armenia after the escalation of the situation in the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict zone.
