CSTO doors open to all but decisions are made via consensus: CSTO acting secretary general
CSTO acting secretary general Valery Semerikov said the CSTO doors are not closed for anyone.
“Let us derive from the normative-legal field adopted by the CSTO. All the decisions, and particularly those relating to membership, gaining status of observer, partner, are being adopted via consensus. If one of the member states is against the decision it will not be adopted,” Semerikov told the reporters on Thursday, speaking about opportunity for Azerbaijan to get status of observer at the CSTO.
“Each state may express wish to become observer or partner but there are certain restrictions registered in the normative documents,” the acting secretary general said.
