Sharmazanov: President Sargsyan’s discontent with behavior of some CSTO member states has 
had positive impact

YEREVAN, MARCH 9, ARMENPRESS. The announcement of the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan over discontent with the behavior of some CSTO member states has not remain without consequences and has had positive impact. Vice President of the National Assembly of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov told the journalists about this on March 9.

“If we consider the current state on Karabakh-Azerbaijan contact line and compare it with the situation existing a few months ago, we will see that there is progress. Of course, it is not enough, the fact that there are problems goes without saying. There are CSTO member states that protect positions contradicting the official position of the Organization during CSTO Parliamentary Assemblies. It is inadmissible for us when our allies take a inert stance”, “Armenpress” reports Sharmazanov saying.

The Vice President of the National Assembly added that Armenia’s membership to the CSTO stems from the interests of Armenia and is justified. “We consider us a full member of the CSTO. We have always had a common position with Russia and Belarus”, he added.

President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan delivered a speech at the session of the CSTO Collective Security Council on December 21, 2015. During his speech the President had mentioned “Every time when the Azerbaijani armed forces use firearm weapons, mortars, and artillery against the Republic of Armenia, they fire in the direction of Astana, Dushanbe, and Bishkek, Moscow and Minsk. I have to remind about the respective article in our charter. And if we not only do not use that article, do not discuss the situation, and find no need to take the telephone and inquire what is going on in allied Armenia, and together with that vote against each other’s interests in international organizations, make bilateral declarations with the third countries, the content of which is directed against CSTO allies, we put the entire Organization, its reputation and importance under those shots”.
