Head of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Nikolay Bordyuzha considers inexpedient CSTO’s interference in the Karabakh conflict.

“Several mechanisms are engaged in settlement of the Karabakh conflict, for example the OSCE Minsk Group. Therefore, we believe CSTO’s interference is inexpedient and counterproductive,” Russia’s Noviye Izvestiya daily quotes Bordyuzha.

Asked about CSTO-Armenia relations, Bordyuzha pointed out close contacts between the CSTO Secretariat and Armenia’s National Security Council headed by Arthur Baghdasaryan.

“Thanks to his initiatives and efforts, several Armenia-Russia joint ventures have been established in defense sector. The CSTO Information Center is also functioning in Armenia,” Boryuzha stressed.
