Armenia is speaking for establishment of peace, atmosphere of mutual
trust and consent in the South Caucasus but unfortunately the neighbor
states do not come forth with such wish, Artur Baghdasaryan, secretary
of the Armenia’s National Security Council, said at the “CSTO and
the South Caucasus: Prospects of Peace and Security in the Region”
two-day international conference today.
He said currently the non-constructive approaches of Azerbaijan and
Turkey do not allow Armenia to hope that in near future the issues
existing in the South Caucasus will solve, the region will develop
in the spirit of peace and consent. “Stability and normalization of
relations with Armenia is a very important political priority for
Armenia. Unfortunately, their unconstructive position does not allow
solution to the issues we are facing”, the NSC secretary said.
According to him, the role of the CSTO is very important here. It must
understand and perceive the issues existing in the South Caucasus. “We
must be able to find joint mechanisms with our main partners to meet
the issues we put in front of us”, Baghdasaryan said.
