ministry delegation
The Armenian Defense Ministry issued a statement concerning a session
of Defense Ministers' Council of CIS member-countries to be held in
Baku on May 31. As REGNUM is told by Spokesman for Armenian Defense
Minister Seyran Shakhsuvaryan, the statement particularly says:
`Taking into account that the Secretariat of CIS Defense Ministers'
Council failed to obtain security guarantees from the Azerbaijani
authorities for delegation of the Armenian Defense Ministry, a
decision was made not to take part in the meeting of Defense
Ministers' Council of CIS member-countries, which is planned to be
held in Baku on May 31. A letter about it has been sent to the
Secretariat of the CIS Defense Ministers' Council.'
Besides, the statement says that the fact has confirmed once again
that Azerbaijan failed to fulfill its duties, to provide security for
participants of the international event held in its territory. `From
its part, the Secretariat of the CIS Defense Ministers' Council is to
provide equal conditions of participation to all CIS
member-countries. We expect an official reaction to what happened by
the CIS Defense Ministers' Council,' the ministry's statement says.
