YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, ARMENPRESS. The heads of CSTO member states are wise people and they will make a right decision over the issue of the Secretary General,  Colonel-General Anatoly Sidorov, Chief of Joint Staff of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), said during today’s Moscow-Yerevan-Minsk-Bishkek-Astana video conference, reports Armenpress.

“The heads of the CSTO member states are wise and experienced people, they will make a right decision. The CSTO Joints Staff is an operating structure that is ready to implement any decision made by the heads of state”, he said, commenting on the current situation in the CSTO.

On November 2 Armenia’s Yuri Khachaturov was dismissed from the position of the CSTO Secretary General after Armenia applied to the CSTO member states to launch the process of recalling him as criminal case was filed against Khachaturov over the 2008 March 1 unrest in Yerevan.
