Armenia's Foreign Ministry on Possible CSTO Mission

Armenia - The position of the Armenian side regarding the CSTO mission for monitoring the Armenia-Azerbaijan state border was presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia during a joint press conference following a meeting of the foreign ministers of Armenia and Russia in Moscow on March 20. Work continues on this matter. This was reported to Azatutyun by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia.

The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated two days ago that the timelines for sending a CSTO mission to the Armenian-Azerbaijani border depend on Yerevan, saying that the ball is in Yerevan's court.

The media had inquired from the Armenian foreign ministry about the official position of Yerevan on this issue, what stage the discussions announced by Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan are at, and whether Armenia is not rejecting the deployment of a CSTO observer mission, and if so, when it is planned and in which part of Armenia.
