Kazakh Parliament declares that it is in no way interested in sending  troops to resolve conflict between Baku and Yerevan

ArmInfo.. The parliament of Kazakhstan declared its disinterest in sending troops to resolve the conflict between Baku and Yerevan. At the same time, the Majilis of  the republic refuted reports from the Russian segment of Telegram  that Nur-Sultan allegedly plans to suspend membership in the CSTO  next year.

Aydos Sarym, a member of the Defense and Security Committee of the  Majilis of Kazakhstan, told the "Moskva Speaks" radio station that  such conversations are not being held in power bodies. At the same  time, he noted that the country does not want to take part in the  military settlement of the confrontation between Baku and Yerevan,  since it has friendly ties with Azerbaijan.

"There were no such rumors, let alone discussions. It seems to me  that there is no point in discussing rumors and Telegram channels.  Kazakhstan has repeatedly stated its position and, in my opinion, it  did not consider  withdrawal and suspension of membership in the  CSTO. I would see an Armenian trace in this, something else. It is  clear that in a situation of conflict with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan is  in no way interested in sending troops there, somehow supporting  Armenia to the detriment of our relations with Azerbaijan. I think  this is stuffing, an attempt put pressure on Kazakhstan to change its  position. Azerbaijan is a very important country for us, with which  there is a huge trade turnover, very big plans. Public opinion is  more in favor of Azerbaijan," he said.

On September 13, at 00:05 am, units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces  began intensive shelling of Armenian positions from artillery and  large-caliber guns in the direction of Gegharkunik, Vayots Dzor and  Syunik regions using UAVs. Attacks were also made on civilian  infrastructure facilities. According to the Prime Minister of  Armenia, Armenia has applied for the 4th point of the CSTO Charter in  connection with Azerbaijan's aggression against the sovereign  territory of Armenia. On September 13, following an extraordinary  session of the CSTO Collective Security Council, an agreement was  reached on sending a CSTO Mission to the Republic of Armenia "to  assess the current situation, prepare a detailed report to the heads  of state." In addition, at the meeting it was decided to create a  working group "from among the employees of the secretariat and the  military personnel of the joint headquarters for constant monitoring  of the situation in the area of responsibility of the CSTO."
