    Yerevan, 30 May: Armenia will not take part in the forthcoming session
    of the Council of CIS Defence Ministers to be held in Baku on 31
    May. The Azerbaijani authorities have not produced security guarantees
    to the Armenian delegation members, Mediamax has quoted the Armenian
    Defence Ministry as saying. "As the secretariat of the Council of CIS
    Defence Ministers failed to get security guarantees from the
    Azerbaijani authorities for the Armenian Defence Ministry delegation,
    they decided not to take part in the Baku session. This has been
    reported to the secretariat of the Council of CIS Defence Ministers.

    "This is another evidence of the fact that Azerbaijan is not able to
    fulfil its commitments and ensure security of participants in the
    international event being held on its territory. For its part, the
    secretariat of the Council of CIS Defence Ministers, must ensure that
    equal conditions are created for the participants from all CIS member
    countries at the session. We are waiting for the secretariat's
    official reaction," the Armenian Defence Ministry said in its
    statement.

    [ANS radio, Baku, in Azeri, 0500 gmt 30 May 06, reported that Armenia
    had not even been invited because Azerbaijan notified the Council of
    CIS Defence Ministers that an Armenian delegation was unwelcome in
    Baku]
