Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon signed a draft resolution of the CSTO on appointing Stanislav Zas as the secretary general of the organization, Ria Novosti agency reported.
“President of Tajikistan supports the candidacy of Stanislav Zas for the post of CSTO secretary general,” the official representative of Tajikistan MFA Vafo Niyatbekzoda told the agency.
Earlier Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko signed on Friday a draft resolution of the CSTO on appointing Stanislav Zas as the secretary general of the organization.
To remind, the CSTO Collective Security Council relieved Armenia’s Yuri Khachaturov of his duties as the organization’s secretary general in November at the initiative of official Yerevan, following charges brought by Armenian Special Investigative Service against Khachaturov with overthrowing the constitutional order in 2008. Armenia earlier insisted on keeping the top CSTO post until 2020, however, the CSTO stated that due to the political situation in the country, it would be inappropriate to give up the post again to Armenia.
