RA MFA Press Secretary Vahan Hunanyan, responding to the CSTO Secretariat’s comment, noted: “The CSTO member states do not expect any understanding of their actions and decisions from the Secretariat.”
In a conversation with Radar Armenia, he said: “The scope of powers of the Secretariat, as a working body of the CSTO, does not include the interpretation of the statements of the members of the highest body of the organization, the CSTO Collective Security Council. CSTO member states do not expect any understanding of their actions and decisions from the Secretariat.”
The tasks of the Secretariat are clearly defined in the CSTO statutory documents, “The Secretariat is a working body for organizational, informational, analytical, and advisory support of the activities of the Organization’s bodies.
We call on the newly appointed Secretary General of the Organization to conduct a thorough study of the fact of the Secretariat’s comment to prevent its repetition.”
It should be noted that the CSTO announced that the CSTO understands the situation in Armenia, which does not allow military exercises to be held.
