YEREVAN. – The CSTO and the Armenian-Russian cooperation are a factor to deter possible escalation and ensure stability and peace. Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopirkin said this in a conversation with journalists today.

According to him, the CSTO plays an important role, it is a guarantor that the situation does not develop in a negative scenario, and it is a very important "airbag."
