Defense minister: There is no need to appeal to CSTO
“I don’t think that the recent incidents, those small forms of tension require that we appeal to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). Why was the Armenian army created if it is unable to perform the tasks set before it during a minor escalation,” Defense Minister of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan told a press conference today.
According to him, Armenia’s military-political leadership will do their best to prevent the tension on the border with Azerbaijan from turning into a full-scale war. He said there is no such tendency today.
