Member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) have expressed support for the signing of the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement, TASS news agency reported citing a declaration adopted at the CSTO summit.
“We welcome the active interstate dialogue between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan. We support a comprehensive settlement and the prompt signing of an unconditional peace agreement between the parties,” the declaration reads.
The declaration also outlines the member states’ joint approaches to key issues on the international and regional agendas.
A separate statement was also signed on strengthening cooperation in combating drug trafficking.
The CSTO summit was held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan on November 27.
All leaders of CSTO member states, except Armenia, were in attendance.
Armenia officially remains a member state of the CSTO but has frozen its participation in the bloc, citing its failure to respond during the Azeri attacks of 2021 and 2022.
