The CSTO member states will always stand by each other, organization’s Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha said, Armenian Public TV reported.

Armenia will not have to protect its national interests in the international agencies, such as OSCE or UN by itself, he added.

“If a political attack is launched against, for instance, Armenia or Russia, all the rest come to help or at least announce whether they agree or disagree with certain assessment,” he noted.

Armenia will host the CSTO informal summit on August 21- 22, 2010.
