The CSTO is ready to send observers to Armenia, for which only the decision of the Collective SecurityCouncil is needed, ARMENPRESS informs, citing "Sputnik Armenia", the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov said at the meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan in Astana.

"After Armenia requested to convene an extraordinary CSTO summit, it was immediately held, decisions were made to send the CSTO Secretary General, the Chief of the Joint Staff to Armenia. They went there, developed recommendations, we have had those recommendations for more than a month now. They are to send a CSTO observation mission to the territory of Armenia on the border with Azerbaijan.
