Azerbaijani embassy in Russia considers CSTO position as attempt to interference in Azerbaijanâ€™s internal affairs

It is surprisingly that CSTO Secretariat, main duty of which is to coordinate security-aimed army-building issues in member countries, comments on the statement by the ambassador of Azerbaijan, a country which doesnâ€™t attempt against territorial integrity and sovereignty of any country: â€œThe Secretariat distorted the ambassadorâ€™s statement that it caused bewilderment, but it was a call for liberation of the territories of Azerbaijan which were recognized at the international level, including by CSTO member countries except Armenia, and occupied as a result of aggressive warâ€.

The embassy once again stressed the principal position of Azerbaijan for soonest solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict by the OSCE Minsk Group efforts based on international law and within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

The statement also noted that CSTO supports cooperation with non-member countries and intergovernmental security organizations. â€œThe organization assists the forming of fair and democratic order based on the principles of international lawâ€.

The embassy said Azerbaijan achieved reliable partnership relations with many countries, including some CSTO members for mutual useful cooperation, displaying good and constructive will. â€œTaking into consideration some noticed points the embassy considers the CSTO Secretariatâ€™s press release exceeding its authority as an attempt to interfere in Azerbaijanâ€™s internal affairs. The embassy hopes that CSTO Secretariat will be more sensible of responsibility while making such kind of statementsâ€.

It should be reminded that Ambassador Bulbuloglu said â€œitâ€™s time to liberate the occupied lands of Azerbaijan. If Azerbaijan launches war, no one will have the right to interfere, since Azerbaijan will fight in its own territory for liberation of its lands on the basis of UN resolutionsâ€.
CSTO said in a statement that â€œsuch approach leads to aggravation of regional situation, and goes counter to OSCE MG efforts and Armenia-Azerbaijan presidential negotiationsâ€™ contextâ€.
Note that the Collective Security Treaty Organization was established in 1992 by Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
