Armenia:

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a telephone conversation with RA Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, suggested that the CSTO summit not be held on December 6, and that discussions on the issue of the Secretary General of the organization continue with working procedures. Acting Prime Minister Pashinyan announced this after the campaign in Vayots Dzor.

“I agreed, because I think that it is more correct to solve this issue by working procedures. As a result of the discussions, it turned out that there is no consensus even now, and it makes no sense to repeat the image of Astana, it is not constructive. The arrangement is as follows. we will continue discussions in a working order until we find solutions in a consensus order”, said Pashinyan.

To note, in an earlier interview with the Russian RBC agency, Nikol Pashinyan’s chief adviser Arsen Gasparyan announced that the election of the new CSTO Secretary General will take place in 2019.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
