CSTO calls for speedy conclusion of Armenia-Azerbaijan peace treaty  

ArmInfo.  The CSTO called for the speedy signing of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"We note with satisfaction the active interstate dialogue between the  Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan. We support a  comprehensive settlement and the speedy conclusion of an  unconditional peace treaty between the parties,"  the declaration  adopted by the CSTO Collective Security Council following its meeting  in Bishkek on November 27, reads.

The declaration states that, amidst the transformation of the  international relations system, collective efforts at  regional and  global levels to prevent and resolve crises and conflicts by  overcoming fundamental interstate security contradictions are  becoming an important factor in maintaining security. "The escalation  of regional conflicts and the emergence of new security threats,  particularly near the borders of CSTO member states, as well as  attempts by extra-regional players to influence processes within the  CSTO space, necessitate coordinated efforts to ensure stability and  peace," the declaration continues.

It notes that in light of current geopolitical realities it is  crucial to develop a sustainable security architecture in the  Eurasian space based on the principle of equality and indivisibility  of security.

"We also express concern over the escalating threats and strategic  risks associated with the advancement of the military-strategic  infrastructure of individual states and countries that are part of  other military alliances and coalitions to the borders of CSTO member  states. We emphasize the unacceptability of the deployment of weapons  systems within the CSTO's area of responsibility that pose threats to  collective security," the text continues.

The CSTO also expressed its willingness to enhance cooperation with  other international organizations, primarily the CIS and the SCO,  which share the common goal of ensuring stability and security in  Eurasia.  "An important step in strengthening such cooperation will  be the consistent implementation of the Roadmap for the Development  of Cooperation between the CSTO, CIS, and SCO for the period  2026-2028, signed by the Secretaries General in Beijing on September  3, 2025," the declaration states.
