Weapons sale to Azerbaijan by some CSTO member states contradicts organization’s charter

PanARMENIAN.Net - Deputy Director of Caucasus Institute, political analyst Sergey Minasyan said that CSTO member states should pursue a more responsible policy and consider the interests of their allies in military and technical cooperation with other South Caucasian states.

He recalled that, under provisions of Article 1 of the Collective Security Treaty, the member states shall not participate in “actions aimed against another member state.”

“The sale of huge number of weapons and military technologies to Azerbaijan, which threatens Armenia, а CSTO member state, with hostilities, by CSTO member states immediately contradicts their own obligations. Actually, these are “actions aimed against another CSTO member state,” concluded Minasyan.
