    Armenia: CIS security chief against resumption of hostilities in Karabakh


    Secretary-General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
    (CSTO) Nikolay Bordyuzha said he treats negatively statements on
    possible resumption of the hostilities in Nagornyy Karabakh conflict,
    Armenian Second TV Channel reported on 24 November.

    Speaking at a session "Collective Security Treaty Organization as
    factor of stability and security in the Caucasus Region" in Armenian
    capital Yerevan on 24 November, Bordyuzha said: "How can I treat
    statements on the possible start of a war - of course, negatively",
    while commenting on the latest statement by the Azerbaijani president
    that Azerbaijan may withdraw from the Karabakh talks if this stage of
    the talks does not yield results, the TV reported.

    The CIS security chief added in this regard: "The initiative of the
    Russian president on the necessity of signing a legally binding
    agreement on European security is very timely. It is an absolute truth
    at present that we should have such an agreement that rules out any
    solutions of any issues of political nature by force," Armenian Second
    TV Channel reported.

    Bordyuzha said he hopes very much that the Azerbaijani president's
    statement "was nothing but a statement targeted at boosting agreement
    with Armenia on Karabakh", the TV reported. Bordyuzha told the session
    that "intensity" of meetings between the Armenian and Azerbaijani
    sides demonstrates "drive of the Armenian and Azerbaijani leadership
    to reaching a mutually acceptable solution on this very complicated
    issue. This process is going on and this is the most important thing",
    Novosti-Armenia website reported on 24 November.

    Bordyuzha told the session that drills of CSTO collective rapid
    reaction force (KSOR) will be held in 2010 and that KSOR drills in
    Russia will include the military component of the KSOR and also
    antiterrorist subdivisions of security entities, ministry of emergency
    situations and agencies of internal affairs, Novosti-Armenia website
    reported on 24 November. The CSTO plans to hold complex drills in 2011
    with all of the above components, the website quoted Bordyuzha as
    saying in the same report.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan received Bordyuzha on the same day,
    Armenian Second TV added in the same report. The sides discussed
    cooperation between CSTO and Armenia; Sargsyan said he is content with
    the rate of Armenia's cooperation with the CSTO and praised the
    activities of the organization - especially establishment of the KSOR
    at the meeting, Armenian Second TV Channel reported.
