Armenia eyes Russia's initiative on European Security Treaty as timely
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian took part in an informal summit of CSTO Foreign Ministers in Moscow on March 25.

The Ministers focused on realization of decisions adopted by Collective Security Council, initiatives Kazakhstan offers as the OSCE co-chairing country and implementation of joint projects. They also referred to the situation in Afghanistan.

"The Collective Security Treaty Organization is gaining weight at the international arena, what can be proved by the signature of a resolution of cooperation with the UN General Assembly," Minister Nalbandian said in his remarks.

He also emphasized that Armenia eyes Russia's initiative on European Security Treaty as timely. "The Treaty should fix the equality of all principles of the international law and exclude domination of one over another," he said.

During the visit, the Armenian Minister also attended the RA Embassy in Moscow where he held a working meeting on priority tasks of Armenia's foreign policy and ways to strengthen strategic relations with Russia.
