    UZBEKISTAN'S WITHDRAWAL FROM CSTO WILL HAVE NO BEARING ON ARMENIA - POLITICAL SCIENTIST

    YEREVAN. - Uzbekistan's withdrawal from the Collective Security Treaty
    Organization (CSTO) was neither accidental nor unexpected, Armenian
    Analytical Centre on Globalization and Regional Cooperation Director,
    political analyst Stepan Grigoryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

    He reminded that this is the second time that Uzbekistan is leaving
    the CSTO.

    In Grigoryan's words, different countries have different reasons
    for withdrawing from the Organization, but, in Uzbekistan's case,
    they are very comprehensible. "Uzbekistan has very serious issues
    with Tajikistan," he said.

    The political scientist also noted that the CSTO is an organization
    which is not very effective, and this is apparent. And this, as per
    Grigoryan, is conditioned on the fact that Russia has no resources to
    help the other CSTO countries. "Uzbekistan's problems are not solved
    by remaining in the CSTO," said the analyst.

    But Stepan Grigoryan is convinced that this step by Uzbekistan will
    have no bearing on Armenia as a CSTO member.

    "We should not be naïve. No Central Asian country will help Armenia
    during a conflict with Azerbaijan," he said, and added that this also
    refers to Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan because they, too, have their
    own problems.

    To note, after the termination of Uzbekistan's CSTO membership,
    Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Russia
    remain as Organization members.
