President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan spoke about Baku’s non-constructive approach to the settlement of Karabakh conflict and violation of previously reached arrangements during the CSTO Collective Security Council meeting in Moscow.  

“Azerbaijan’s non-constructive approach to the resolution of Karabakh conflict remains a serious regional threat,” he said, adding the arrangement to create mechanisms to hold investigations into the incident along the frontline are torpedoed by Baku.

Sargsyan noted that Baku is holding active anti-Armenian propaganda and continues arms race in the region, RIA Novosti reported.

President stressed peaceful talks is the only way of finding solution. Resuming of hostilities after 18 years of truce and even the threat of resuming war is a direct violation of the principles of international law, he added.

President Sargsyan said one of the fundamental principles of CSTO is a priority of relations within organization. He addressed the CSTO participants with a request not to forget about the principle and not to support initiative which can harm Armenia’s interests.

To note, Azerbaijan is not a CSTO member.
