Secretary of the Security Council Armen Grigoryan hopes that if Armenia finds itself in a situation as in Kazakhstan, appropriate assistance will be provided.

His remarks came on the air of the Public Television of Armenia, referring to the decision to send Armenian troops to Kazakhstan.

He said that for the first time in history the mechanisms of the Collective Security Treaty Organization were applied and it was shown how it should work. He also said that Armenia is interested in CSTO response if a crisis arises in the future and based on this, Armenia has taken relevant steps.

When Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan received the application of the president of Kazakhstan consulted with the leaders of the CSTO member states, then, according to his assessment, there were not revolutionary actions in Kazakhstan, but terrorist attacks, people were armed. During consultations, the president of Kazakhstan, as well as the leaders of other CSTO member states, provided information in which they claimed that terrorist attacks were recorded. The decision to deploy troops was made by consensus of the leaders of all CSTO member states, the official said.
