KHAZAR IBRAHIM: INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY SHOULD REACT TO ARMENIANS’ VIOLATING CFE TERMS

Russia’s suspending its activity in the Conventional Armed Forces in
Europe Treaty (CFE) is its sovereign right, Foreign Ministry spokesman
Khazar Ibrahim told APA.

FM spokesman explaining Russia’s leaving CFE stated that this treaty
is one of the main elements of international security, particularly
security in Europe.

"Of course, there are certain gaps within the framework of CFE. For
instance, Armenia fails to fulfill its commitments arising from the
treaty. Armenia should deploy 220 tanks in its area, but it has
already deployed more than 300 tanks in the occupied Azerbaijani
regions. This fact has been stated by all major international
magazines. International community and CFE participants should react
to such cases," he stressed. /APA/
