I vigorously oppose any statements on war resumption," CSTO Secretary
General Nikolai Bordyuzha stated at the Nov. 24 press conference,
commenting on Azerbaijani President’s warlike statement. "Presently, I
am confident about perfect timing of the Russian president’s initiative
on signing the European security agreement, that is essential," said
Bordyuzha, adding that agreement will rule out the solution of the
political issues by military means.

"I also served in the army and am well-aware of the war," stated
Secretary General. Currently, there are few politicians realizing
what war hazard is.

He expressed hope that statement was made exceptionally from a
political motive to get the desired result over disputed issues at
the Munich meeting. According to him, the significant point is that
presidential meetings intensified and the peace process progresses.

Commenting on the possibility of Armenian-Turkish border opening
(CSTO-NATO border), Bordyuzha outlined that the cooperation of
both alliances is desirable. "Presently CSTO and NATO face similar
challenges. The sooner cooperation starts, the more effective will
security of member states be," Secretary General concluded.
