The CSTO Secretary General, Nikolai Bordyuzha, has warned of dire
negative consequences should a military option be taken against Iran.
Resolution of Iran’s nuclear issue through military actions would
create tension in Islamic countries and also provoke reactions of
all Muslims, particularly the Shiites, the Collective Security Treaty
Organization (CSTO) chief stated in a round table conference in Moscow.
With the recently issued 1803 sanctions resolution against Iran,
who is there to guarantee the forestalling of military action against
the Islamic Republic, questioned Bordyuzha.
He also noted that the CSTO is not indifferent to Iran’s issue,
pointing out that some signatories to the treaty have close ties with
the Islamic Republic.
Meanwhile, Bordyuzha accused the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) of trying to weaken Russia’s cooperation with all former
Soviet Union republics, adding that NATO is striving to segregate
Moscow from its Central Asian partners.
Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia and
Uzbekistan are members of the CSTO.
