YEREVAN. – There is no military solution to the Syrian crisis, Secretary General of the CSTO Nikolay Bordyuzha said.

He expressed concern over some states' support for the armed opposition groups, which include extremist and terrorist organizations. On the side of the opposition, unfortunately, there are representatives of the terrorist organizations from around the world, he said during the Thursday press conference in Yerevan.

He stressed that it is unacceptable to supply the opposition, which consists of terrorists, with weapons. Bordyuzha said some natives of the CIS are trained in militant camps in Afghanistan, then part of them stays there and gets “a combat experience” in the operations against the NATO forces.
