Baku does not view participation in CSTO activities in any format
Baku is not planning to get status of observer at the CSTO, Himet Hajiyev, head of foreign policy affairs department of Azerbaijani president’s administration, stated.
“As of the moment, Azerbaijan is not viewing its participation in the CSTO in any formats, including in the status of an observer. It has created such a phobia in Armenia that the issue is being discussed in Yerevan without any official message by Azerbaijan,” Hajiyev said in an interview to RealTV.
At the same time he stated that Azerbaijan has close friendly and partnership ties with all the member states of the CSTO, including in military and military-technical sector except Armenia and is closely following the CSTO activity and the issues discussed by the organization.
