Russia to help Armenia if Karabakh war resumes
Baku does not rule out that in case of resumption of hostilities in
Nagornyy Karabakh, Russia will assist Armenia which is a member of the
Collective Security Treaty Organization, Azerbaijani military expert
Uzeyir Cafarov has told Russian-language daily Ekho.
Cafarov said that Armenia was indirectly involved in the
Russian-Georgian conflict, as there was no doubt that Russian planes
had taken off from Armenia's Gyumri military base to bomb Georgian
territory.
In the meantime, pro-government MP Zahid Oruc has said that Armenia's
position in this conflict has once again demonstrated its dangerous
policy in the region and that everyone should draw a conclusion from
this. The Kremlin has always used the ethnic factor to colonize the
Caucasus, the MP added.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization includes Russia, Armenia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
