/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia will continue its participation in the talks
over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict Armenian President
Robert Kocharian stated on Friday in Minsk at a full composition
session of the CSTO Council of Collective Security. "It was suggested
at the latest Bucharest meeting to take the project on the issue, drawn
by the mediators, as the basis, however Azerbaijan did not approve
of the project and the talks will continue," the President said.

Robert Kocharian noted "the dynamical development of military and
technical cooperation within the CSTO framework." At that, in his
words, Armenia "considers necessary to specify the parameters of the
mechanisms of provision of military and technical assistance to CSTO
members in case of external aggression." The President also urged to
refrain from steps, "which may run counter to interests of the CSTO
member states," reports Interfax.
