Each of the CSTO countries independently determines its attitude to Azerbaijan and Armenia, said the vice speaker of the Federation Council (Higher Chamber of the Russian State Duma) Konstantin Kosachev, answering the question of the Russian media about the possibility of “more energetic support” of Armenia in conflict with Azerbaijan .
“The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, from my point of view, does not belong to the competence of the organization. Each of the CSTO member countries determines its attitude to it independently. As for Russia, it is known that we most sincerely contribute to the settlement Moreover, our efforts are equally in demand by both side. In a different way, it cannot be, the situation can develop only in this vein. To take the position of supporting support only one side in this conflict would mean to aggravate it. We need to take the position of peaceful settlement And to promote that the conditions of this settlement are acceptable to all sides, ”he said.
