CSTO expresses concern over Armenian provocation
The Collective Security Treaty Organization reacted to the provocation by the Armenian Armed Forces on the contact line between Armenia and Azerbaijan, AzVision.az reports citing the Russian Media.
Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Nikolay Bordyuzha expressed concern of CSTO over the recent events on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Note, before Bordyuzha said there is no need for the CSTO to change its position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

“The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a very sensitive issue. The CSTO isn’t involved in the settlement process. The OSCE Minsk Group is engaged in the settlement of the conflict. Our position is clear. This position is the position of all the CSTO member states. This position is that there is no military solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, it should be solved peacefully. The CSTO are against the use of large-caliber weapons in the region,” he stressed.

Note, a reconnaissance group of the Armenian Armed Forces tried to violate the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border on Dec. 29 morning. The Armenian group found itself in the ambush of the Azerbaijani army while violating the borders. The enemy suffered losses in the ensuing clash and had to retreat.

A soldier of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, Gurbanov Chingiz, is missing as a result of the shootout. He is being searched for.
