The Prime Minister said the CSTO is a very important platform not only for multilateral partnership, but also for bilateral interaction with Russia, and Yerevan must try to ensure that this organization is involved in ensuring proper security in the region. At the same time, a number of important facts should be registered, Pashinyan said. According to him, several CSTO member states have signed a declaration with Turkey and Azerbaijan on the Turkic world, while Russia is a strategic partner of Armenia, and this partnership cannot be overestimated. Pashinyan also noted noted that Russia is not an enemy of Azerbaijan, therefore it is trying to find non-military solutions. In clashes launched by Azerbaijan on November 16, the Armenian side has confirmed 6 deaths, as well as up to 32 prisoners of war, which Pashinyan said has yet to be verified.
