KARABAKH CONFLICT SHOULD BE SETTLED THROUGH DIALOGUE

Politics

Azerbaijan called recently on NATO to intensify efforts to solve Karabakh issue.

What CSTO member countries’ security secretaries think about that?

Armenian national security secretary Serge Sargssyan said any statement made by the conflict’s one side should be taken as no more than a statement.

Russian Igor Ivanov said the CSTO isn’t engaged in conflicts settlement, including also Karabakh problem.

The Organisation has other aims and focuses its activity on other things, he said, OSCE Minsk Group is mediating Karabakh conflict settlement.

Ivanov said he thought the problem should be solved through dialogue. The dialogue has already started and there is no need in any changes that might complicate the course of the dialogue.

It is remarkable that CSTO two members – Kirgizia and Kazakhstan – have voted for discussion over “Nagorno Karabakh and occupied territories” at the UN General Assembly’s 59 session.

Asked if the CSTO coordinate its members steps, the Organisation Secretary General Nicolay Borduzha said the case had been discussed at the CSTO foreign ministerial meeting and it had become clear that Kazakhstan and Kirgizia step was due to uncoordinated work and lack of information.
