Armenian caretaker foreign minister to attend CSTO gathering in Tajikistan

YEREVAN, May 17. /ARKA/. Armenian caretaker Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan will fly to Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, to take part in a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of Collective Security Treaty Organization's (CSTO) member countries.

The Armenian Foreign Ministry said the gathering is scheduled for May 19.

The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is a Russia-led military alliance of seven former Soviet states that was created in 2002.

The CSTO’s purpose is to ensure the collective defense of any member that faces external aggression. Current CSTO members are Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation and Tajikistan.

Last Thursday Armenia asked the Collective Security Treaty Organization to take action against Azerbaijani incursions into its territory, after tens of Azerbaijani soldiers advanced several kilometers into Armenian territory in the southern province of Syunik.

Armenia asked the CSTO to invoke Article 2 of the treaty which commits the bloc to discussing a collective response to grave security threats facing its member states.-0-
