The position of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan on the voting “on the
situation on Azerbaijan’s occupied territories” at a UN session is
seen as a certain fault in the coordination system of the Collective
Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Nikolay Bordyuzha,
secretary-general of the CSTO, told a press conference in Yerevan
after a session of the CSTO committee of secretaries.

Asked about the position of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan which voted
“for” discussing “the situation on Azerbaijan’s occupied territories”
which was raised with the UN General Assembly session at the
initiative of Azerbaijan, as well as about his assessment of the level
of coordination within the framework of the CSTO, Bordyuzha pointed
out that the CSTO has drawn up a mechanism of coordination and “it is
functioning quite successfully”.

He said that a consensus is reached on many issues that pertain to
political problems in the world. “As for this case, it was discussed
at the session of the council of foreign ministers where the states
mainly expressed their points of view. I can say without going into
detail that a common understanding of the situation has been found,
and as far as I understand, this incident is seen as a certain fault
in the coordination system and there is an agreement to coordinate
actions more actively, especially on burning issues such as security,”
Bordyuzha said.
