    PREMATURE TO TALK ABOUT AZERBAIJAN'S ACCESSION TO CSTO - OHANIAN

    Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian has said that Azerbaijan's
    accession to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has
    not been discussed yet, the Armenian Defense Ministry's press office
    told Interfax on Saturday.

    "Each state decides itself whether to cooperate with any particular
    organization. Recently, Russia and Azerbaijan have broadened their
    cooperation in the CIS framework, but I think it is to do with energy,
    and the question whether Azerbaijan could join the CSTO has not been
    discussed yet," Ohanian was quoted by the press office as saying at
    his meeting with Poland's Defense Minister Bogdan Klich.

    Azeri media outlets said earlier, citing Azeri MP Gudrat Gasanguliyev,
    that Azerbaijan could join the CSTO and host a Russian base.

    Klich called for a peaceful resolution of the conflicts in southern
    Caucasus, the Armenian Defense Ministry's press office said.

    The CSTO consists of Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
    Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
