Russia’s deputy FM: CSTO helps member states in case of clear aggression
As far as the conflict is in the territory of Nagorno Karabakh and has not transferred to Armenia, it is not correct to speak about the involvement of the CSTO, Russia’s deputy foreign minister Alexander Pankin told on Friday.
“The conflict has not transferred to Armenia’s territory, there was no request from Armenia, neither did this country officially applied. The CSTO helps its member countries in certain situations, in case of clear aggression. As far as we are speaking about Nagorno Karabakh which the Armenians do not recognize as part of their territory and it is impossible to recognize, it is not right to speak about the usage of CSTO defense potential,” Pankin told the reporters.
