/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Fuad Aliyev, chairman of the Azerbaijani Liberal
Democratic Party said the formation of a CSTO rapid reaction force will
"destabilize the region."

"Formation of a military bloc is a muscle show for NATO, Azerbaijan
and Georgia. Our party opposed Azerbaijan’s joining NATO but it does
not mean that the country should admit formation of Russia’s military
bloc and break off relations with the West," he said.

"Official Baku’s restraint on CSTO RRF formation is harmful for
Azerbaijan. We call on our leadership to think over stopping its CIS
membership," Aliyev said, Day.az reports.
