There is no unity among CIS member countries, while strengthening
military cooperation between Russia and Armenia forces Baku to react,
Azeri Defense Minister Safar Abiyev said.
"Today, one can say that there is no unity among CIS member states,"
Abiyev said in an interview with Azerbaijan’s ANS TV company.
"That is right, the main country that forms the policy in the CIS
space is Russia. You know well what relations Russian has with Armenia.
This undoubtedly forces us to make certain measures as to this tandem,"
the minister said.
The Azeri Armed Forces cooperate with 50 countries of the world,
primarily Turkey, the United States, Pakistan, the United Kingdom,
and Germany, while bilateral military cooperation agreements, which
provide for mutual assistance on a number of issues, have been signed
with 24 countries of the world," Abiyev said.
