Belarus diplomat says Azerbaijan’s membership to CSTO may promote Karabakh conflict settlement

Belarus’ ambassador to Armenia Igor Nazaruk is not against Azerbaijan’s membership to the CSTO if to take into consideration the experience of the Soviet Union.

“I want to mention the experience of the Soviet Union. We all were different, remember the Baltic republics and Middle Asian republics. I want to note that in this multinational family there were no territorial demands, international and religious conflicts, thus such trend would have been a right thing,” he said at the Role of the CSTO in Ensuring Security in Caucasian Region round table discussion.

He said the entrance of Azerbaijan to the CSTO will probably promote the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.

Director of CSTO Institute Nver Torosyan stressed that the opinion that Azerbaijan’s entrance to the CSTO may promote settlement of the conflict is non-professional opinion.
