The CSTO is a big family with the whole world following it, head of the Republican faction Vahram Baghdasaryan told the reporters today, referring to the situation created between Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan.
He said the rhetoric between the mentioned countries is unacceptable.
As to loss of post by Armenia in the CSTO, the faction head said they warned the authorities about the possibility. “We have warned them. If they were going to file a criminal case and arrest Yuri Khachaturov they should have warned the organization beforehand,” he said.
“It has not been done, the relations became tensed, thus the loss of post was expectable,” Baghdasaryan stated.
Earlier acting PM Nikol Pashinyan stated that they would demand explanations from the Belarusian side over discussion of CSTO secretary general appointment issue with Azerbaijani ambassador. In response the Belarusian Foreign Ministry released a statement saying that Armenia’s acting PM seems to consider himself international prosecutor.
