Question: Yesterday, the CSTO Secretariat delivered a comment regarding the cancellation of military drills in the territory of the Republic of Armenia. What would you say in this regard?
Answer: First of all, we would like to note that the interpretation of statements made by the members of the CSTO Collective Security Council - the supreme body of the Organization is out of the competencе of the Secretariat, as a working body of the CSTO.
The CSTO member states do not expect any perception of their actions and decisions from the Secretariat.
The tasks of the Secretariat are clearly defined in the statutory documents of the Organization. The Secretariat is a working body which provides organisational, informational, analytical and advisory support to the activities of the Organization's bodies.
We call on the newly appointed Secretary General of the Organization to conduct a detailed fact check on the Secretariat's comment in order to prevent its recurrence.
