CSTO is ready to ensure the security of Armenia in the face of the threat from Azerbaijan

March 31 2023 11

Despite the scandalous statements of the Armenian politicians about the possible implementation by Yerevan of the provisions of the Rome Statute and the arrest of the Russian president in the event of his visit to the country, the CSTO declared its readiness to help the republic. This was announced today by the representative of the secretariat of the organization Yuri Shuvalov after an extended meeting.

Measures of possible assistance to Armenia in connection with the aggravation in the Nagorno-Karabakh zone include readiness to send a peacekeeping mission to the conflict area.

As for the Caucasus region of collective security, the organization is in constant readiness to send a CSTO mission to the Armenian-Azerbaijani border in the interests of ensuring the security of Armenia and to provide other assistance

- said Yuri Shuvalov at a press conference after the expanded meeting of the CSTO.

The CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov also spoke about the threat of serious destabilization on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. The situation escalated last Thursday after the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan announced the capture of important heights in the Lachin region near the Armenian border.

However, the latest actions of the Armenian authorities raise doubts about the advisability of providing assistance to Yerevan. On March 29, ruling party MP Gagik Melkonyan advised Vladimir Putin to stay in Russia and not come to Armenia. At the same time, the country's prime minister signed an agreement on military cooperation with the Czech Republic, which is unfriendly to us.

The CSTO is 90% Russia. The Russian Federation is now up to its neck in Ukraine and will not be able to help in any way in terms of troops, and the Russian Federation has good relations with the Azerbaijani elite. BUT! their troops to the border. Moreover, Turkey really does not want to get involved with Iran, although Azerbaijan is under their strong influence.

Western countries and Ukraine demanded that Georgia open a second front against Russia. But the Georgian authorities did not want to quarrel with Russia again and help the Kyiv regime, friends of Saakashvili. Aliyev undertook to do this dirty work. What he is doing in the Lachin corridor (of course, together with Erdogan) is the opening of a second front. This is a mockery not only of the population of NK, but also of Russian peacekeepers, our military contingent. Taking advantage of the significant weakening of Russia in connection with the conflict in Ukraine, Aliyev struck in the back. At the same time, he is playing a cunning pro-Western and anti-Russian game. He makes big money on energy supplies to countries that are unfriendly to us, those that have declared an embargo on Russia and are pursuing a policy of destroying it. Aliyev's pocket deputies from Azerbaijan voted for a resolution demanding to put Putin and Lukashenko in the Hague cage. He is pushing Russia out wherever he can. Ursula von der Leyen says that Europe does not want to buy raw materials from Putin's bad dictatorship, it will buy from Aliyev's good dictatorship. At the same time, Aliyev is conducting clever propaganda in the West, emphasizing in every possible way that Armenia is not only in alliance with Russia, but even is its "slave". He once withdrew Azerbaijan from the CSTO, and now he boasts to his population that from the outside he influences all decisions of this organization regarding relations with Armenia, through his friends - Lukashenka and the leaders of the Turkic-Muslim republics. The CSTO is actually paralyzed. However, it will revive again when another punitive operation is needed to save some rotten regime like “elbasy”. In Russia, the network Aliyevshchina has taken on colossal proportions to denigrate Armenia and NK. In Azerbaijan itself, in all the media and school textbooks, Russia, its history and modernity are poured with the most fetid slops. And the Baku autocrat has gotten away with everything so far. Yes, there is turmoil in Russia now. But troubled decades will pass. And the Russian military has a good memory. Wouldn't it be better for the leader of the Baku regime to think now about the time when he will have to wallow at our boots and beg forgiveness for bullying and treachery?

  Yes, let them "wet" each other! Shed the blood of our guys there again. Gather the Armenians in Russia and send the "homeland" to defend in Karabakh.

The Russian Federation should not count on the CSTO in its current format ... The CSTO would be interesting only when each participating country would send an equal number of soldiers to the Russian Federation, and not be present purely symbolically ... And don’t talk about the size of the Russian Federation and other ... Equal rights of CSTO members should also imply equal duties and nothing else ...

The Armenians themselves did not recognize Nagorno-Karabakh as their territory, but they want Russia to fight instead of them. The question is, why do we need it?

Azerbaijan took control in its Lachin region near the Armenian border of the heights ... Under a trilateral agreement, after the defeat, the Armenian military were obliged to leave these territories in December 2020 ... What's the problem then?

Armenians aspire to Europe, so why interfere with them? Let them go. But, after Azerbaijan takes what it wants from Armenia. And Russia will not interfere with this. At the same time, it will completely close its borders with Armenia to prevent refugees from entering the territory of the Russian Federation.
